What is it?

Gigartina Skottsbergii Extract — a marine phyto-component with an exceptionally high content of carrageenans — sulfated polysaccharides with powerful water-binding and film-forming ability, which help the seaweed survive in the harsh Patagonian climate. Mechanism: upon topical application, carrageenans form a protective hydrating film on the skin's surface, effectively reducing transepidermal water loss, especially valuable for skin exposed to wind, cold, or other harsh climatic conditions.

Key Benefits

✦

Powerful protection against moisture loss in harsh conditions

The carrageenans from gigartina skottsbergii extract, adapted for the seaweed's survival in the Patagonian climate, form an exceptionally effective protective film on the skin's surface, reducing transepidermal water loss even in windy and cold conditions. Result: maintaining comfort and hydration of the skin in adverse climatic conditions.

◈

Intensive hydration due to water-binding polysaccharides

In addition to the protective film-forming action, carrageenans have a high inherent water-binding capacity, providing additional hydration to the skin regardless of the barrier effect of the film.

✧

Natural adaptation to extreme climate

The unique growth environment of gigartina skottsbergii in the cold and windy waters of Patagonia has endowed the seaweed with particularly powerful protective mechanisms for moisture retention, which transform into a valuable cosmetic property for protecting human skin in similar conditions.
