Plankton Artemia Extract
Plankton Artemia Extract Plankton Artemia Extract is an extract from the Artemia Salina plankton species containing Diguanoside tetraphosphate (DT) at a level of no less than 145mg/Kg, making it suitable as an anti-pollution ingredient or for effectively protecting the skin from various environmental conditions.
The key characteristic of the Artemia Salina plankton species is its ability to withstand various environmental conditions. This type of plankton accumulates DT, which serves as an energy source and helps protect DNA from damage.
Various Test Results on the Skin
- Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is directly involved in cell metabolism. In vitro studies found that Plankton Artemia Extract can increase cAMP levels by up to 40%.
- In an ex-vivo study on human skin, Keratin levels were measured using the Pankeratin immunofluorescence staining technique. The results showed that Plankton Artemia Extract can significantly increase Keratin levels in Keratinocytes.
- In an ex-vivo study on human skin under no-stress conditions (without any external stress), HSP70 levels (see further information on HSP70) were measured using immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that Plankton Artemia Extract can significantly increase HSP70 levels.
- In an ex-vivo study on human skin under stress conditions induced by UVB at 100mJ/cm2, HSP70 levels (see further information on HSP70) were measured using immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that Plankton Artemia Extract can significantly maintain HSP70 levels.
- In an in-vitro study using human fibroblasts with immunoblotting, Plankton Artemia Extract was found to increase Collagen Type I levels by 54%.
- In an in-vitro study using human fibroblasts with immunoblotting, Plankton Artemia Extract was found to increase dermal collagen and fibronectin levels in fibroblasts by 27%.
- In a study using HaCaT Cells with a TUNEL assay, Plankton Artemia Extract was found to significantly reduce DNA damage caused by UV radiation (UVB at a level of 100 mJ/cm²).
