Laminaria saccharina extract

Active ingredient from the sea that controls the sebum excess for purer skin. Provides vitamins and inhibits the function of lipase which restricts the propagation of bacteria. Moreover, it contains polyuronides which forms a film and regulates the pH and moisture of the skin. Finds application in formulating oily skin- and greasy hair-care products. Comes from Laminaria saccharina, the royal sugar kelp. Commonly attacked by sea snails, releasing enzymes on its surface, the algae synthesizes specific molecules in order to protect itself.
