ALL HAIL, MARINE ALGAE
Share
The skincare savior with a sea of beauty benefits
When it comes to skincare ingredients, it’s not always a “one fits all” approach. In fact, finding products that suit your skin type without causing irritation can sometimes feel like a minefield.
That’s why discovering Marine Algae might just feel like a breath of fresh (sea) air. It’s safe for all skin types, and it can address a wide range of beauty woes. And even though its use in skincare is not exactly new (it’s been the hero ingredient in La Mer’s cult-beloved formula since the sixties), the benefits aren’t as well documented as some other skincare stars.
Here, we give you a primer into four key benefits of this mermaid-approved beauty hero.
Benefit 1: Protein
Marine Algae is loaded with Amino Acids, and Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. They help maintain skin's hydration, texture, resilience, and in turn create a plumper, healthier complexion while simultaneously slowing down the signs of aging.
Benefit 2: Moisture
Marine Algae is packed with humectants that draw in moisture incredibly well – offering the ability to condition the skin and maximize dewiness. It’s also jammed with famously-hydrating Vitamin E for an added boost of moisture.
Benefit 3: Antioxidants
Marine Algae is rich in antioxidants, including Vitamin B and C, which helps to combat pigmentation, stimulate collagen, brighten dull skin, and protect against free radicals that cause premature aging.
Benefit 4: Minerals
Marine Algae is filled with the goodness of Omega, Zinc, and Magnesium. All these minerals contribute to a healthier epidermal barrier, protecting from environmental aggressors and soothing any inflammation of the skin.
