Stories from Nature
There are countless species of red algae, numbering between 5,000 and 6,000. They can be unicellular or multicellular and play a vital role in maintaining coral reefs. They live primarily in the deep sea and are named for the red pigments within them that give them their reddish color.
They are rich in polysaccharides, with moisturizing, humectant, and antioxidant properties, making them ideal in cosmetics for combating free radicals that accelerate skin aging. They also combat oxidative stress caused by UV rays and help reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Additionally, they are excellent for helping to protect the skin from environmental pollution thanks to their anti-pollution effect. Among the best-known types of red algae is Jania Rubens, which is extremely rich in taurine and helps stimulate blood circulation and collagen production in the skin.
Skin Benefits
Jania Rubens red algae, formulated with other types of algae, such as carrageenan, creates a marine complex that provides intense hydration and a regenerating effect on the skin. Red Algae is rich in plant-based taurine, a source of energy for skin cells that helps strengthen the skin’s resistance against signs of fatigue and aging. Carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide, provides deep hydration and creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture.
Cosmetic tests show that this complex provides intense hydration from the very first application, smoothing the skin and minimizing fine lines. The skin appears visibly fresher and plumper, reducing signs of fatigue and leaving it soft to the touch.
