Natural Wonder Seaweed – Beauty from the Sea

More than 20,000 species of algae are known. Algae mainly grow in the sea, but also in freshwater and on land. They draw the nutrients they need to grow from the liquid in which they live. So algae contain the full richness of active ingredients found in seawater.

Natural wonder with many functions

In cosmetics, the organic algae is a very popular ingredient. No wonder, as it is considered a true skin protector. But the organic algae serves another important function as well, namely as a carrier: organic algae extract is able to bind the water molecules contained in the skincare product in the first layer of the skin. This allows other valuable ingredients to penetrate deeper into the cell layers and fully develop their effects there. Pretty clever, isn’t it?
