Age-related changes, adverse weather events, the use of low-quality cosmetics – all these and some other factors disrupt the integrity of the stratum corneum and reduce the production of natural moisturizing factors. Because of this, the skin becomes dry, there is a feeling of tightness and discomfort, wrinkles appear.
Cosmetic products containing brown algae, according to estet-portal.com, have long established themselves as an effective moisturizer. And the line of moisturizing care ALGOHYDRA from ALGOTHERM, due to perfectly matched active ingredients, also stimulates skin renewal.
The peculiarity of brown algae as an active moisturizing component of cosmetics
Algae are marine plants that have been living in both sea and fresh water for thousands of years. These are the oldest plants: microalgae appeared 3.6 billion years ago and laid the foundation for life on Earth. They account for 2/3 of the production of oxygen on Earth. These plants are able to adapt to extreme conditions, about 40,000 species of algae are known around the globe, 800 of them – near the coast of the French region of Brittany, about 40 of them are used in cosmetology.
Each type of algae has a unique content of biologically active substances: these are vitamins, oligoelements, minerals, antioxidants, proteins, amino acids and essential fatty acids (omega 3,6,9). The unique composition and DNA gives each type of algae its own special properties and provides a powerful effect on the skin.
All seaweeds perfectly nourish the skin, enhancing its regeneration processes, improve blood circulation and regulate the acid-base balance. However, brown algae have a special effect. They clearly show moisturizing and moisture-retaining properties due to the higher content of polysaccharides, organic acids, mineral salts. They have found application in the ALGOTHERM moisturizing care line ALGOHYDRA.
