The properties of the algae extract mix

Let's find out more

Algae, protagonists of ancient beauty practices, continue to be a valuable ingredient in modern cosmetics because of their extraordinary properties. Since ancient times, various cultures have recognized their benefits, using them in skin and body treatments for their moisturizing and nourishing abilities.

The algae extracts are prized especially for their versatility: their composition is rich in proteins, vitamins (such as vitamin C, E and B complex), minerals (such as iodine, calcium, magnesium and zinc) and lipids. These components work synergistically to provide a range of benefits.

Main properties of Algae Extracts and use in cosmetics

1. Moisturizing, humectant, and hygroscopic: Due to their ability to retain water, algae help maintain skin hydration, improving skin elasticity and reducing dryness.

2. Revitalizing and remineralizing: the minerals in algae help nourish and regenerate tissue, stimulating cell renewal processes and improving skin tone.

3. Stimulants: algae promote microcirculation, improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells. This stimulating effect can reduce the appearance of dull skin and give radiance.

Algae Extracts are commonly used in facial care products such as anti-aging creams, purifying masks, body lotions, and hair treatments. Because of their ability to adapt to different needs, seaweeds are an ideal ingredient for natural wellness and beauty, continuing to be used in modern cosmetic rituals as they were in ancient beauty traditions.
