From Israel! Enzyme-derived Levan from sugarcane [*Evaluation data confirming the effects on skin resident bacteria and the promotion of skin proliferation speed can be provided based on human skin.]

■□■ Natural Polysaccharide Moisturizing Ingredient 'PoLevanS' ■□■ PoLevanS, a natural polysaccharide uniquely developed by Gan Shmuel in Israel, is produced using an enzymatic method and contains 30-35% levans, compared to the 1-2% levans produced by fermentation methods. 【Regarding Evaluation Data】 1. In aging care (skin moisture) evaluation experiments using human skin, it was confirmed that "the epidermal proliferation rate is promoted." ● Aging care (skin moisture) evaluation 2. In the ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation, it was confirmed that the higher the levans content, the greater the effect on the increase of procollagen 1. ● ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation 3. The minimum inhibitory concentration measurements for Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, etc., confirmed that there is no adverse effect on skin resident bacteria. ● Viable bacteria (skin resident bacteria) and antibacterial evaluation * This has been experimentally verified using human skin, not mice, at the testing laboratory of Dead Sea & Arava. * If you would like a sample, please contact us. * For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.
