Science & Benefits
Sacran is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polysaccharide extracted from the rare Japanese freshwater algae, Aphanothece sacrum. It is a 'super-humectant' with a water-holding capacity reportedly 5 times greater than Hyaluronic Acid. Due to its massive molecular size, it forms a sophisticated 'moisture-nanonetting' on the skin's surface, providing an incredible protective film against environmental irritants. It is zero-comedogenic and possesses significant anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal choice for the 'atopic' acne type where the barrier is severely compromised. It provides a luxurious, plump skin feel while ensuring total breathability for the pores.
