In the search for perfect skin, algae has become a more common ingredient. Due to its properties of boosting moisture, increasing antioxidants, fighting inflammation, helping to increase circulation, and its use as an antiseptic, it is good for use on any skin type and for all ages.

Algae extract is made from the seaweed plants and used in many skin care and hair care products. It helps maintain great skin as well as improve signs of aging and irritations, and has a low risk of reaction even for those with sensitive skin.

Algae Extract Nutrients

Algae has many nutrients that are added back into the skin to compensate for what is missing or has been lost to the sun and age. These nutrients are necessary for healthy skin and can help decrease skin damage from many sources.

It can help to reduce skin irritation and help heal the cause of the irritation. This can be great for dry skin issues, minor sunburns and other concerns.

There are ingredients and nutrients in algae extract that help to bind moisture to skin cells, helping to retain and use the moisture in the skin to keep it healthy and supple.

Boosting Compounds In Algae Extract

It also has compounds that can boost the regeneration of cells helping to repair any irritation or damage, and decrease the occurrence and severity of lines and wrinkles. By boosting protein elastin within the skin, it remains more elastic and bounces back from the causes of wrinkles and fine lines, including gravity and age.

The cells in algae extract are structured so that the nutrients can easily pass through the cell walls and into other cells, which allow the skin and hair to absorb them quickly and easily.  

Cell Movement In Algae Extract

Another benefit of using algae in skin care is the increased movement of cells because keeping them healthy and mobile reduces irritations and keeps the skin soft and pliable. This also helps to keep skin from thinning and slow the signs of aging including wrinkles and sagging.

As skin finds the nutrients replenished it is able to grow faster, appear healthy, repair damage from many causes, and remain healthy once it’s been through the repair process.

Algae extract is easily found in many skin and hair care products due to its versatility, the ease with which it can be located and harvested, and the wide range of benefits that can be used at any age.
