Description
Hyafactor™-PGA (PGA-SHM) is a polymer produced through the fermentation of the probiotic “Natto Bacillus”. The molecular weight of PGA-SHM is more than 2 million Da (GPC-Malls method), which is about 7 times that of PGA-HM, so PGA-SHM has a nice silky skin feeling and a better film-forming ability which protect the skin barrier from pollution damage. It was found that PGA-SHM can effectively promote the maturation of cornified envelopes and the generation of natural moisturizing factors (NMF), and significantly enhance the skin barrier function.
