To resist dehydration, the red microalga Porphyridium cruentum has developed an extraordinary defence system. It synthesises and excretes a marine exopolysaccharide outside its cell wall to reduce water loss. Givaudan experts in marine biotechnology, have revealed Porphyridium cruentum's secret and created an active ingredient for long lasting hydration: Hydrintense™.
