[About Algae Extract]
   Algae extract is known for its non-irritating and non-comedogenic moisturization qualities (some forms of algae extract are not so beneficial). Algae Extract helps provide additional protection from irritation.
   Algae extract is derived from algae and seaweeds. Algae extract is rich in vitamins and trace elements. It helps in rebalancing the skin's moisture content while protecting, stimulating, and nourishing the skin. It is an active substance, which normalizes the skin's moisture content and provides suppleness to the epidermis. It consists of vital elements that increase surface hydration. In cosmetics, the algae extract is used for its water-binding and antioxidant properties. Among the various nutritional supplements found in algae extract, supplements which enhance skin health are as follows: bioflavinoids and theonine are immune system boosters that remove toxins from skin cells and ameliorate skin tone; silicon brings about skin tightening; serine enhances skin beauty; and omega-6 fatty acids help improve skin tone. 
   Algae extract has an anti-inflammatory action and reduces scars. Anti-inflammatory substances allow the skin to heal itself and also prevent new scarring.    Algae extract is non-irritating and has non-comedogenic moisturization qualities, which helps provide additional protection from irritation. It is also very effective in reducing wrinkles. It has powerful antioxidant properties. It brings about an immediate skin-tightening effect and also long-term anti-wrinkling effect by protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and strengthening the skin's connective tissue by stimulating collagen synthesis and renewal of tissue cells. Algae extract is also being used in cellulite-reducing creams.
   Algae Extract contains polysaccharides (sugars) that act as natural humectants (helps to promote the retention of moisture in the skin); alginates (components that provide moisture and elasticity to the skin); fucoidanes (sulfated polysaccharides that stimulate circulation); polyphenols (anti septic, anti-inflammatory agents and anti-oxidants); and fucosterol (an excellent emollient, blood stimulant, diuretic and moisturizing agent).
