Our extraction process consist of ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) , designed to keep the phytocomplex as unaltered as possible. This marine source was selected by Naturalis because of its particular richness in bioactive compounds with moisturizing and antioxidant effect. The use of brown seaweed Cystoseira humilis extract, rich in amino acids and effective polysaccharides on the skin helps to stimulate the endogenous production of collagen and all of the proteins that underlie the regulation of skin hydration, such as aquaporin 3, filaggrin and involucrine.

Dulse, also known as sea lettuce and dillisk is a red alga that grows on the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earliest record of this species is on the island of Iona, Scotland where monks harvested it over 1,400 years ago. Dulse is commonly used as food and medicine in Ireland. The seaweed is a very good source of minerals and vitamins compared with other vegetables, containing all trace elements needed by humans. It is commonly found from June to September and can be picked by hand when the tide is out which is then spread to dry. Botanical extracts made with dulse have been found to hold skin-protecting properties.

Algosource Liquid Spirulina Extract is a cyanobacterium, or blue-green algae, belonging to the Arthrospira genus. The most common species are Spirulina maxima and Arthrospira platensis. Spirulina contains around 60% protein in dry form. It is a source of antioxidants, strengthens the immune system and improves the tone and vitality of the body. Like all microalgae, Spirulina must however be considered with caution to ensure its quality. Cultivation must be managed with rigor and attention to detail in order to avoid the development of elements which are harmful to humans, such as heavy metals. Spirulina is largely made up (80%) of hydrophilic elements: proteins, minerals, polysaccharides and water-soluble vitamins. Inside the cell, water is used to transport the majority of Spirulina metabolites and plays the role of natural support. Thus, water is fundamental to its survival and to the activities of most of its constituents. As a result, the drying of Spirulina eliminates most of this interior water, causing the death of the cell which can no longer ensure its vital functions. Drying therefore profoundly modifies the structure of Spirulina and its metabolites. This is one of the reasons for the liquid form of AlgoSource extracts.
