Overview
Derived from the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum, this extract is enriched with fucoidans, a type of polysaccharide renowned for their skin-preserving properties. Fucoidans play a crucial role in safeguarding the skin's elasticity by neutralizing the inflammatory breakdown of the elastic fiber network. They achieve this through the inhibition of MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase-2) secretion from dermal fibroblasts, which are key in maintaining the skin's structural integrity.
Skin benefits
Prevents premature skin aging Increases skin elasticity Reduces appearance of dark circles and under eye bags
What research has shown
Ascophyllum nodosum extract contains fucoidans, a polysaccharide, which neutralize inflammatory breakdown of the elastic fiber network in human skin. This is done via inhibition of MMP-2 secretion from dermal fibroblasts
