Ascophyllum Nodosum

What is Ascophyllum Nodosum?

Ascophyllum Nodosum, commonly known as knotweed, is a type of brown algae that thrives in the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic. This algae is famous in the skin care industry for its rich content of polysaccharides, minerals and antioxidants, which make it an excellent ingredient for deep hydration and skin nourishment.

Ascophyllum Nodosum's polysaccharides form a hydrophilic (water-loving) matrix on the skin's surface that effectively absorbs and retains water. This ensures continuous hydration and contributes to healthier and more supple skin.

Advantage

Excellent Hydration: Creates a moisture-absorbing matrix on the skin that retains large amounts of water, ensuring optimal hydration and long-lasting moisture.

Protects and Nourishes: Minerals and antioxidants in the algae help protect the skin from environmental damage and strengthen the skin's barrier function.

Usage tips:

Frequency: Can be used daily as part of both morning and evening beauty routines.

Application: Apply products containing Ascophyllum Nodosum to cleansed and toned skin for maximum moisturizing benefits.
