Dunaliella Salina Extract

Science & Benefits

Dunaliella Salina is a microalgae that survives in high-salinity environments by producing massive amounts of beta-carotene and glycerol. In topical applications, it acts as a superior antioxidant-humectant hybrid. The high beta-carotene content is a precursor to Vitamin A, which aids in healthy cell turnover to prevent the buildup of dead skin cells inside the follicle. Simultaneously, its natural glycerol content ensures deep, stable hydration that regulates the skin's osmotic pressure. It is a zero-irritancy ingredient that protects the skin from oxidative stress and photo-damage, making it an ideal protective agent for acne-prone skin exposed to urban pollution and UV rays.
