Over the last two decades, science has established that marine natural ingredients provide unique benefits for skincare that are complementary to terrestrial plants. Similarly to land organisms, only a small proportion of the full potential of marine organisms has been studied let alone commercially deployed. Today, algae seem to be the most promising for cosmetic applications, presenting many kinds of bio-actives.
Both seaweed and algae are aquatic organisms. Algae can grow in any aquatic environment - oceans, rivers, ponds, or lakes . Most algae are photosynthetic: they can convert sunlight into carbohydrates like sugar or starch. Algae are found in all shapes and sizes ranging from microscopic single cells to giant kelp.
How are seaweeds different? Seaweeds are multicellular forms of marine algae. They are macroscopic and marine . The depth at which they can be found in the ocean is determined by water murkiness. Seaweeds are divided into three main groups based on color: brown, green and red.Seaweeds are ten times richer in vitamins and minerals than land plants. It is also full of naturally occurring lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, and antioxidant polyphenols which deeply moisturize and nourish skin.
On top of their calming and anti-inflammatory benefits, algae help inhibit enzymes that break down collagen, support skin suppleness, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Some of the hardiest organisms on our planet, algae and seaweeds can survive extreme conditions and harsh environments, including UV, heat, cold, and salt levels. It is this resilience and restorative ability that makes them so valuable for skincare.
