Within the deepest of oceans, is the secret to aging gracefully. FSS Algae Extract G PF is a unique
algae derived extract that can help fight the signs of aging, naturally. The use of
algae derived ingredients in cosmetics is
increasing as consumers recognize it as a natural and sustainable
resource. Little do they know, that algae can also be responsible for younger, more beautiful skin.
According to ancient legends, mermaids have long been admired for their
beauty, which they credit to the benefits of seaweed. While seaweed is not only nutritious, it can also restore
the skins’ epidermal lipid balance thus leaving
skin looking fresh and vibrant. Now that this beauty secret has evolved
into skincare, we can all utilize its benefits. Laminara digitata is the seaweed that stands out
when it comes to beauty, containing almost every mineral listed
on the periodic table!
Laminara digitata is large brownish green algae
that thrives deep within the North Atlantic. This species of seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals and various trace
elements. Seaweed is found to be more rich in vitamins and minerals than actual
seawater. These minerals work as co-factors in many enzymatic reactions such as
protein synthesis and cell reproduction.
Algae extracts can moisturize the skin, as moisture loss is a key
component that leads to skin aging. By replenishing the skin, its natural moisture levels are restored therefore minimizing
the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In
hair care, algae extracts can moisturize and condition the hair thus
reducing breakage, while also nourishing and conditioning the scalp.
FSS Algae Extract G PF can be used
in a wide variety of cosmetic and personal care applications intended to deliver conditioning and moisturizing properties. This unique ingredient
can also be used to capitalize on the
trends for sea-inspired products in cosmetics.
