Science & Benefits

Hydrolyzed Rhodophyceae Extract is a bio-technological active derived from red algae. The hydrolysis process releases specific oligosaccharides and minerals that target the synthesis of 'aquaporins' and 'fillagrin' in the skin. This 'restructures' the skin's internal hydration network, ensuring water is effectively circulated through the epidermal layers. It is completely non-comedogenic and serves as a powerful humectant. It is a 'bulletproof' active for resolving the 'dehydrated-oily' paradox, providing deep, structural hydration without the need for occlusive oils or heavy lipids.
