Algae is a botanical extract found in seaweed and wild fungi:
Rich in vitamins A, C & E it is a fantastic natural source of nutrition for your skin...Algae extract helps maintain skin's youthfulness by restricting formation of the enzyme 'collagenase', (the cause of collagen degradation), this in turn actually prevents further breakdown of collagen fibres which helps to build the collagen network within the dermis which naturally results in firmer, tighter skin.
Many dermatologists consider algae extract to be a potent, active substance with a powerful capability for moisture retention. It can normalize the skin’s moisture content and provide maximum hydration and suppleness to the epidermis.
Its naturally fine colloidal particles and absorbent properties significantly enhance skin purification, which stimulates tissue renewal, skin restructuring and wrinkle reduction.
Topical application of algae extract provides a protective film which improves the skin's immunity against free radicals and oxidative stresses caused by environmental aggressions that contributes to diminishing the visible ageing process.
Algae extracts also contains natural anti-inflammatory properties and works to inhibit skin irritation so is particularly beneficial to stressed and problem skin.
