Originating in the extreme heat of deep sea hydrothermal vents, Thermus thermophilus is an astonishing microorganism that thrives in environments once considered too hostile for life: high temperatures (>70°C/158°F), pressures 200 - 400 times greater than atmospheric pressure, high concentrations of sulfur and heavy metals, and low oxygen levels.

Obviously, in order to survive, these microorganisms equipped themselves with particularly effective and specific defense mechanisms. Through biotechnology, Alpha Defence harnesses the power of Thermus thermophilus to bring its benefits to human skin. In use, it affords the dual advantage of being heat activated and UV-resistant, even under real climatic conditions (i.e. on the skin). The active substance is stable and almost inexhaustible, compared to the alternatives (vitamins, green tea polyphenols, SOD)."; ProductBrief[20] = "Glytone
