Marine extracts
Rich in essential ions like Zinc and Copper, marine natural ingredients perfectly enhance skincare formulations, improving cross-linking of dermal fibers, providing optimal hydration, and nourishing with vital elements. In addition, some algae contain high concentrations of carrageenans sulfured oligosaccharides that are similar to hyaluronic acid or other GAGs.
Carrageenans improve the water-binding ability of the skin, revealing a supple, smooth, and youthful surface. These beneficial oligosaccharides also stimulate the production of HA, providing volume, density, and elasticity.
Almost every marine extract is an excellent source of antioxidants, protecting cell membranes and genetic material from harmful influences like UV-induced damage or oxidative stress. These ingredients are youth elixirs made to preserve natural beauty, expose smooth surface, and healthy appearance.
