Airtight container, room temperature
1 Year
Keep It Sealed
Store under cool, room-temperature conditions with the container tightly closed. Keep away from oxidizing agents and strong acids.
Minimize Dust When Handling
Avoid generating airborne dust and keep away from ignition sources — fine dust dispersed in air can be a potential dust explosion hazard. Use a respirator if handling larger quantities.
Test Stability at Higher Use Levels

Hello
What is the type of the plankton extract? Does it include Gadusol?
Can it penetrate the skin while added to topical facial cream?
Is it pure enough and clean of any contamination?
Thanks and best regards

Can you please tell me if this product contains Photolyase?:
\”Plankton Extract\”-
Hi Mike, our Plankton Extract does not contain photolyase. It is very uncommon for normal plankton extracts to contain it, as it must be put through a refining process for use in cosmetic formulations. Thank you
