Red seaweeds developped chemical defences to fight against micro-organisms colonisation. They synthesize powerful biocidal molecules. These molecules can also preserve algae from herbivorous animals. In this field, the champion among red seaweeds is... Asparagopsis armata.

Ysaline^® is the 1st product extracted from Asparagopsis armata (see Company/ production). It can highly contribute to the natural preservation of your formulas.

This original active ingredient can also fight acne, oily skin typical micro-infections, and dandruff.

Ascophyscient^® is extracted from Ascophyllum nodosum. It contains particular polysaccharides: fucoidans. Their activities are due to many sulfate groupements. Native fucoidans are very big molecules. The specificity of Ascophyscient^® is depolymerization. Low Molecular Weight fucoidans penetrate the skin and have a powerful activity there.

It is a great anti-ageing ingredient: MMP, enzymes which naturally degrade collagen and elastin, slowing down; anti-inflammatory; micro-wound healing.

In june 2010, Algues & Mer launched the NividiSkin® laboratory, specialized in consumer skin care.

The 1^st product - BAUME TEMPETE® - is a radical care for weakened skin. Its unique & multipurpose active ingredient is Ascophyscient®.
