Algae have long been considered a superfood and are set to become the frontrunner in this field. They are also being traded as the food of the future: on the one hand, they are among the fastest growing organisms on earth and, on the other hand, their high content of protein makes them a potential substitute for previous protein sources such as meat.
According to the trend "from food to face", they have been established in the beauty industry as a popular and proven ingredient - the prestigious brand La Mer has shown us how. Skincare professionals have taken advantage of the algae's properties: for example, when the giant algae is damaged by environmental influences gets a tear, a layer of mucus immediately forms to repair it - the plant heals itself.
Due to their high content of minerals such as magnesium, iron, iodine, calcium and potassium the plants can be used in various areas. Not only they do have a moisturising effect and can improve the texture of the skin - some types of algae even have sunscreen-like properties. Thus, they can unfold their wonderful effect in a wide variety of products: Whether in serums, eye creams, day or night creams. The algae is therefore a true multi-talent.
