Algae extract in cosmetic products

09 August 2019

Many know algae from the sushi restaurant or from the beach on holidays. But did you know that algae are also used in cosmetics?

The proteins of the algae supply the skin cells with energy and form a protection against dehydration. In cosmetics, algae extract is regarded as a protective shield against moisture loss and dehydration, but the variety of possible uses is almost unlimited.

In cosmetics, mostly marine algae are used. They are rich in minerals, vitamins, amino acids, micronutrients and proteins. They have a revitalising and remineralising effect, but can also stimulate blood circulation.

Beta-carotene and the vitamins in the algae activate the skin, protect it from environmental influences, combat free radicals and act as a natural anti-ageing complex.

Moisture in the skin also counteracts wrinkles. If sufficient moisture is stored in the uppermost skin layer, the skin simply feels smoother, smoother and softer. In addition, the important barrier function of the skin improves at the same time.

Side effects or other disadvantages of algae active agents are rare. So, algae extracts are very well tolerated by people with sensitive skin, too. In summary, it can be said that algae extracts are extremely useful active ingredients in cosmetics.

Janssen Cosmetics also relies on algae and uses an extract of red algae as an active ingredient in the following products:
