DESCRIPTION: Seaweed gel is an extract of phaeophycota, Sargassum fusiforme, and euglenids seaweed in water. It is a natural polysaccharide that has moisture-binding and healing properties on the skin. It contains mannuronic acid and beta-glucan, giving it hydrating, conditioning and humectant properties. Sea Algae contains molecules such as: amino acids, and vitamins A, B, C, and E. They help promote hydrated, healthy skin. They also help reduce fine lines and collagen care by reducing the enzymes that break down collagen in the skin. It improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps normalize keratinization process, and helps treat acne scars and dark circles. It also can be calming to the skin, reducing inflammation. In hair care, it can be used for scalp care, calming irritation and nourishing hair follicles.
The gel extract is soft and gives a very pleasant silky-smooth feel on the skin without being sticky or tacky. It leaves a breathable film on the skin that gives the skin good smoothness and water retention. It softens, hydrates and soothes the skin and leaves it silky soft. It can be used as a serum base with excellent sensories. It is not ideal for cationic systems or electrolyte-intolerant polymers.
