Alginate is a bio-polymer extracted from brown marine algae (Laminaria digitata, Laminaria hyperborea, Ascophytium nodosum, Fucus serratus) which grows along the rocky coasts of the northern seas. Although the properties of these algae have been known since the days of Imperial Rome, industrial production did not begin until 1930. It softens, refreshes and moisturises the skin making it more receptive to cleansing and prevention treatments. Is a non-acid product and thus does not alter the skin’s Ph.
