The Earth is made up of 70% of water, so it's no surprise to us that cosmetic manufacturers are turning to oceans and freshwater to discover new raw materials for their products.
So, you may be wondering, what benefits can marine elements bring to your beauty and health?
Two very popular ingredients used in many cosmetics are Chlorella Vulgaris and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa, which are green algae. Chlorella vulgaris is now quite often found in beauty products, while Chlorella pyrenoidosa is often seen in hair care products. In addition, both are also taken as nutritional supplements as they are rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and help with good digestion and skin health.
Traditionally, seaweed has been known to have anti-aging properties. When algae extracts are combined correctly, then we have in our hands a cosmetic that can effectively reduce the signs of time.
For this reason we can find about 30 different types of algae used in hundreds of face and hair care products.
However, seaweed is not the only natural ingredient that we can find in the sea. Another popular ingredient is seaweed collagen which is extracted from a substance found in fish scales. It is even said to provide skin protection with its anti-aging properties and is already quite popular in Asia. Epirus in question can be said to be the market where marine cosmetics are first tested before they come to Europe.
Selected marine active ingredients are starting to make their appearance in well-known cosmetic companies.
