Its ingredients - Properties supported by science

Marine microalgae

Microalgae contain bioactive components (pigments, proteins, essential fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals) and can be incorporated into cosmetic and cosmeceutical formulations, and contribute to obtaining benefits, particularly for the maintenance of skin structure and function. ^1,2

Porphyridium cruentum extract

Porphyridium cruentum is a unicellular microalgae that appears as tiny red/pink beads invisible to the naked eye. It is one of the microalgae that has antioxidant capacity thus revealing its potential to be used in the cosmetic industry. ³

Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract

Used as a versatile and highly effective antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic products. This microalgae is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammation. ⁴ The extract contains high levels of phycoerythrin, sulfated polysaccharides, arachidonic acid, tocopherol, and carotenoids.

These algae have several properties, such as:

• Ensure hydration and moisture retention of the skin thanks to its polysaccharides present
• Fight wrinkles and fine lines
• Improve skin elasticity

Snow mushrooms (Tremella fuciformis)

Tremella fuciformis has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for its remarkable medicinal properties. Studies have demonstrated the role this extract can play in skin anti-aging, photoprotection, and wound healing. ¹

Tremella mushrooms are frequently used in cosmetics due to their anti-aging and moisturizing properties. Some evidence suggests that its polysaccharides help retain moisture and reduce collagen loss; other research has shown that polysaccharides can reduce skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. ²

The polysaccharide isolated from a hot water extract of a fungus of the genus Tremella showed inhibition of melanin formation, lightens spots when applied to the skin. ³

According to this other study, its potential as a novel skin lightening agent was validated, as well as its effectiveness in stopping melanogenesis and promoting healing in vitro. ⁴

In addition, Tremella polysaccharide has shown good moisturizing effects, as in another study, cosmetic products containing 0.05% Tremella polysaccharides were shown to have better moisturizing capacity than those containing 0.02% hyaluronic acid. ⁵

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is present in our body tissues and fluids, however, it naturally depletes with age. The skin is the largest reservoir of hyaluronic acid, containing approximately half of the body's hyaluronic acid. ^1,2

• It contributes to maintaining tissue hydration. ³
• It has been used for several years to help the skin regain elasticity and moisture. A study (including 76 women aged 30 to 60 years with clinical signs of periocular wrinkles) on the topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations (application of one of the formulations twice daily to the targeted area for 60 days) led to a significant improvement in skin hydration, turgor, and elasticity. ⁴
• The one included in our products is made from bacterial fermentation of plant materials, using a fermented culture, non-GMO.
