If you are a regular spa customer, odds are you have seen some sort of spa treatment that features seaweed extract as a main ingredient. Some of the best spa treatments in the world, such as facials, masks, and other therapeutic skin treatments, leverage the power of seaweed extract to promote healthier skin. Seaweed extract promotes skin hydration as well as tightening of the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a cellular nutrient.
Science shows that seaweeds are especially rich in cosmetically active compounds such as uronic acid, fucose polymers, sulfated polygalactosides – including mineral salts, iodinated compounds, proteins, carbohydrates, amoni acids, organic acids, and vitamins. Seaweed extracts combine the proteins of the outer layer of the skin and the hair, forming protective moisturizing complexes. Fucose polymers retain water and act as hydrating agents. Seaweed extracts, for this reason, work to hydrate and soften the skin. Efficient hydration increases the effect of the micro elements and essential metabolites facilitating penetration into the skin enhancing the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. Irritation caused by shaving and depilation is decreased by application of seaweed extracts.
