Algae

What is Algae?

Algae refers to a broad group of photosynthetic, primarily water-based organisms that range from microscopic, such as microalgae, to macroscopic forms such as seaweed. Both sea and freshwater algae are used in skin care for their rich content of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other bioactive compounds that have significant benefits for the skin.

Algae works by supplying the skin with essential nutrients that improve skin health at the cellular level. These nutrients help rebuild and revitalize the skin's appearance, while the natural antioxidants offer protection against environmental stressors.

Algae are loved for their versatility and the powerful benefits they offer the skin, including improved moisture, protection and revitalization. The natural richness of nutrients makes algae an invaluable ingredient in anti-aging and moisturizing skin care.

Advantage

Hydration: Algae are known for their ability to bind moisture in the skin, helping to maintain a healthy and hydrated skin barrier.

Antioxidant protection: Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals and thus reduce signs of skin aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Improves skin elasticity: Contains amino acids and peptides which support collagen synthesis and improve skin firmness and elasticity.

Usage tips:

Frequency: Can be used daily as part of your skincare routine, especially in products designed for morning or evening use.

Application: Apply to cleansed and toned skin for optimal absorption and effect. Algae works well in combination with other hydrating ingredients to maximize skin's moisture levels.
