Algae not only survive, but they thrive in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth, the sea. Here the algae has adapted to its living conditions and evolved mechanisms that allow it to withstand the high salinity of the water, the strong currents and the cold temperatures. Freshwater lakes can also house a variety of algae where they endure acidity, turbidity, and various oxygen concentrations. Algae can range in size from microscopic species to giant kelp over 200 feet long. Algae can be classified as red, brown, or green based on the reflection of chloroplast pigments present in the plant. Algae characteristics, used in cosmetics, may stem from chlorophyll.

Algae are known for hydration and conditioning benefits when used on the skin. Antioxidants present also protect skin from free radical damage and reduce the signs of premature aging. Vitamins A,B,C, and E are commonly available to reduce inflammation, protect cells and tissue, while moisturizing skin. Anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness, problem skin and may improve eczema. Algae are used in cosmetic products for maintaining skin moisture, increasing elasticity, and detoxification. Hair care products can also provide benefits with algae by strengthening hair follicles and reducing hair loss. As a natural cleanser or detox, algae can remove unwanted product or buildup from hair without drying out the hair. This property can reduce damage, prevent further damage, and repair split ends while providing hydration.

Algal species are diverse and therefore are able to offer a range of benefits in cosmetic formulations. From wound healing to tightening the skin, algae may provide extensive properties with a natural origin. FSS Algae Extract G PET offers the opportunity to capitalize on the benefits associated with algae in a variety of hair and skin care applications.
