Protect and Plump Delicate Eyelid Skin with Antarcticine®: The Wrinkle Plumper
WHY WE LOVE EYES USES Antarcticine® ACTIVE FOR EYE CREAM FORMULATION AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF Antarcticine® FOR EYELID SKIN?
I love unique actives for eyelid skin. Antarcticine® is one of those ingredients. It shields against dryness, promotes regeneration, and best yet – it's a wrinkle plumper. Let's learn more about this amazing active.
You can find Antarcticine® in my eye cream formulation, SHRUBTOX®️ Active Hyaluronic Eye Glass®️.
What Is Antarcticine®?
Antarcticine® is a glycoprotein produced by Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica NF3. In its native Antarctic environment, it protects bacterial cells from extreme cold. In skincare, it harnesses that cryoprotective power to defend human skin from dehydration and barrier damage.
Key Benefits of Antarcticine® – The Wrinkle Plumper
Increased hydration:
Studies have shown Antarcticine® can significantly improve skin hydration, making it appear plumper and more supple.
Cold weather protection:
It shields the eyelid skin from the drying effects of cold weather, making it beneficial for those living in colder climates.
Anti-aging effects:
Antarcticine® stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve eyelid skin elasticity.
Skin regeneration:
It promotes keratinocyte growth and fibroblast adhesion, contributing to eyelid skin regeneration and wound healing.
Reduced wrinkle depth:
See photo above. Antarcticine® has been shown to reduce wrinkle depth in 30 days, especially around the eyes.
Suitable for sensitive eyelid skin:
It's gentle and well-tolerated, making it a suitable choice for individuals with sensitive eyes.
Antarcticine® Ingredient Breakdown
Antarcticine® has powerful moisturizing and regenerative properties. In our eye cream SHRUBTOX®, you’ll find it listed as: Water (and) Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract (and) Caprylyl Glycol.
Water is often given a bad wrap in cosmetics. It's a myth that water is just there to 'water down' the ingredients that matter. Not true! Water is crucial as a solvent and plays a vital role in hydrating the eyelid skin and delivering keys ingredients.
Caprylyl Glycol is derived from caprylic acid, a fatty acid found in coconut. It's a hydrating humectant, and skin-conditioning agent.
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract is a biotechnologically derived ingredient, a glycoprotein, sourced from marine bacteria, particularly the Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica species.
More About Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract is a biotechnologically derived ingredient, a glycoprotein, sourced from marine bacteria, particularly the Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica species. It's known for its cryoprotective and moisturizing propertie to hydrate skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protect the skin's natural barrier.
1. Hydration and Moisture Retention:
-
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract is a strong humectant, meaning it helps the eyelid skin attract and retain moisture.

It creates a protective barrier on the eyelid skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated.
2. Skin Barrier Repair and Protection:
-
It strengthens the eyelid skin's natural barrier function, making it more resilient to environmental damage and pollutants.
-
This can help protect the eyelid skin from dryness, redness, and irritation.
-
It also supports the eyelid skin's natural healing processes, helping to repair damaged tissue.
3. Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Reduction:
-
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract promotes collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for maintaining eyelid skin elasticity and firmness.

This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet.

It may also help to lift sagging eyelids.
