Moisturizing
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: chondrus crispus extract, lecithin.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: sh-polypeptide-9
Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Anti-ageing in its own right, it is also packed with cutting-edge actives – including bio-placenta, with five growth factors to ‘activate’ sluggish skin cells, haematite to kick-start collagen synthesis and a synthetic incarnation of a peptide found in snail mucin, to stimulate healing, combat bacteria and support lymphatic drainage.
