Brestine is a polymer of galactose, mannose, glucose, galacturonic acid, and glucuronic acid. It is produced by marine plankton collected from the Mer d’Iroise of Brest in Bretagne. Once isolated, the micro-organism is cultivated in a bioreactor to produce large amounts of Brestine.
Brestine can fill the furrows of the skin very quickly and the small wrinkles are smoothed out. These furrows and small wrinkles are called “kime” in Asia. Tested in vivo at 2%, Brestine showed results in 15 minutes, with the effects maintained 6 hours after a single application. It complies with the ECOCERT Standard for natural ingredients.
