Tales from Nature
Dunaliella Salina is a microscopic flagellate alga (equipped with flagella, thin tentacles that serve for locomotion), in the family Dunaliellaceae: Dunaliella is the best known genus. The genus name Dunaliella was given to it FOR FREE by the French botanist Michel Félix Dunal, who first studied and identified it.
As its name suggests, it lives in a specific habitat, in waters whose salinity has very high concentrations of sodium chloride. It colors the waters of salt marshes bright red-orange due to its enormous content of carotenoids such as alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and other antioxidant molecules that it produces to protect itself from UV radiation and the extreme amount of salt present in its natural habitat. Dunaliella is an alga that has highly antioxidant properties.
Benefits
Dunaliella Salina Seaweed Extract provides energy to skin cells, boosting ATP levels (adenosine triphosphate, the "energy currency" of the cell, which is essential for biochemical reactions, including cell regeneration and collagen production) and giving a more vital and radiant appearance. A mix of essential vitamins (A, E, F, B5) and fatty acids such as Linoleic Acid and Retinyl Palmitate stimulates skin renewal and firmness, improving the appearance of tired, dull skin. The skin receives intense revitalization that accelerates cell renewal and gives radiance.
