MARINE actives

The patented ALGOGÈNE[4] complex, developed by Algotherm with CNRS, acts on every epidermal cell by stimulating 35 genes essential for youthful skin. Its unique synergy of 4 algae targets the 4 pillars of aging: cellular protection, wrinkles, volume loss, and spots, delivering a visible overall effect.

Chlorella, a green microalga, works in two ways: de-wrinkling and plumping by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis while inhibiting destructive enzymes, and smoothing by reinforcing essential components that support overall skin cohesion.

Chondrus Crispus red alga, rich in carrageenans and phyllocoids and thriving in extreme deep waters, provides immediate hydration and protects the skin’s hydrolipidic film. It limits water loss and restores balance, suppleness, and softness to the epidermis.

The red alga Kappaphycus Alvarezii, sourced from Borneo, is rich in carrageenans and combined with mineral-rich seawater (calcium, magnesium) to create a powerful hydrating complex. It strengthens cellular cohesion and the skin barrier, leaving the skin supple and protected.

This complex combines three targeted actives to combat skin laxity by stimulating pro-collagen I synthesis. Alaria Esculenta (Wakame) extract plumps and smooths the skin by enhancing cellular cohesion, while Centella Asiatica extract improves its tone and firmness.

The Red Macro-Algae Complex combines three complementary actives for heavy legs: a red algae extract to stimulate microcirculation and reduce visible veins, a horse chestnut extract to decongest and strengthen veins, and hydrating, soothing Aloe Vera.

The green macro-alga Ulva Lactuca restructures and densifies the skin by inhibiting enzymes and stimulating collagen and hyaluronic acid, for a fuller, firm, and elastic face. Undaria Pinnatifida reduces deep and dynamic wrinkles by regulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

The brown macro-alga Dictyopteris membranacea reduces the size of melanin carriers, limiting its production and spread, thereby diminishing spots and evening the complexion. Alaria esculenta boosts cellular metabolism, lowers progerin levels, and stimulates detoxification and mitochondrial activity.

The Pre- and Post-Biotic Marine Complex protects the skin microbiome with Chlorella, a green micro-alga, and an exopolysaccharide derived from plankton through biotechnology. It supports growth factors, maintains skin balance, and reduces inflammation.

This marine complex, derived from the brown alga Fucus Spiralis and the green micro-alga Tetraselmis Chui, provides a dual action: mattifying by regulating sebum secretion through the responsible enzyme, and soothing by reducing redness and irritation. The skin stays clear and balanced.

Spirulina Platensis extract, rich in antioxidant phycocyanin, combats premature aging, wrinkles, and dullness. Seawater remineralizes the skin with calcium and magnesium, soothes redness, strengthens the skin barrier, restructures tissues, and reduces inflammation.

Codium Tomentosum green alga extract naturally helps maintain skin hydration under environmental stress. Its mimetic action regulates moisture by facilitating water circulation in the epidermis while minimizing loss. Skin remains supple, comfortable, and better protected.

This synergy of three-colored algae provides gentle yet effective exfoliation. Codium tomentosum regulates hydration and protects against environmental stress, Porphyridium cruentum improves firmness and reduces redness, and Laminaria ochroleuca soothes, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps prevent premature aging.

Derived from biomedical research, this technology, based on brown algae alginate fibers, combines hydration and purification. It retains water, absorbs impurities and excess sebum, while forming an adherent veil for optimal and prolonged diffusion of active ingredients.

Brown Alga Laminaria Digitata, rich in organic matter, minerals, and trace elements, provides global revitalizing and hydrating effects. It stimulates the enzyme responsible for ATP production, the skin’s cellular energy, helping combat cellular aging and restore skin vitality.

Marine Lichen, an alga rich in 15 of the 18 essential vitamins and minerals, acts as a complete skin treatment. It deeply cleanses, gently exfoliates, and revitalizes the epidermis, leaving skin soft, smooth, and perfectly prepped for subsequent care.

Dictyopteris Membranacea, a brown alga, acts on pigmentation by reducing melanin production and distribution, diminishing spots and evening the complexion. The blue micro-alga Phormidium Persicinum regenerates vitamin C and antioxidant proteins, smoothing and brightening the skin.

This biotechnological ingredient comes from an ancestral marine micro-organism, part bacteria, part alga, with a vibrant blue color. Packed with life, it combats cellular aging, slows UV-induced skin aging, and helps preserve the skin’s youth and vitality.

This unique marine bacterial strain, innovative in cosmetics and rich in proteins and bioactive peptides, stimulates cellular regeneration, strengthens the skin barrier, and protects the skin with its antioxidant properties, helping reduce signs of aging.

Blue Spirulina (Spirulina Platensis) extract is rich in phycocyanin, a protective antioxidant pigment that helps combat premature aging signs: wrinkles, fatigue, dull complexion.

The green macroalgae Ulva Lactuca, also known as Sea Lettuce, has a dual restructuring and densifying action: it limits enzymes that degrade skin structure while stimulating the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, improving facial firmness, density, and elasticity.

Undaria Pinnatifida, a potent brown macroalgae known for its anti-wrinkle benefits, boosts collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. It reactivates structural genes, smooths deep and dynamic wrinkles, and restores the Beauty Triangle, leaving skin visibly firmer and more youthful.
