- Product Information
- Among seaweeds, red algae contain high amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and minerals
- They are rich sources of sulfated polysaccharides, including some that have become valuable additives in the food industry because of their rheological properties as gelling and thickening agents (e.g. carrageenan)
- Red Alga Gel®EC HYDRATING properties increases skin water content, making it PLUMPER and SUPPLER
- Its MOISTURIZING action, helps to lock in water: the skin is SOFTER and SMOOTHER
- Hydration supplies water to the upper layers on epidermis Moisturization aims to form a barrier film to prevent moisture loss.
