The discovery of the marine crystal
The marine crystal, the blue thistle, the brown algae Undaria Pinnatifida, the red micro-algae Porphyridium are the four main marine plants used by Algologie for their exceptional mineral content and their benefits, allowing skin cells to function better.
Marine biotechnology specialists have developed techniques to reproduce these plants endlessly from stem cells, which ensures supply, while preserving biodiversity. Algologie is one of the first cosmetics manufacturers to have understood that they prevent any removal, and therefore any harmful and abusive looting of the ecosystem.
The marine crystal grows without fear on the shores of the peninsula of Pen Lan. It covers the ground with its fleshy foliage and illuminates the coast with its small pale yellow flowers in summer.
The marine crystal is a halophilic plant that grows on the rocky coasts of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It can sometimes crack the rock, which owes it the name of «rock drill». But how to explain that a plant capable of breaking a stone can bring so much softness and benefits to your skin?
A story to climb cliffs
The marine crystal is known since ancient times for its medicinal properties, its richness in vitamin C and minerals. The sailors knew easily how to recognize it and consumed it to avoid scurvy .
It is also found in the literary corpus, since in the sixteenth century, Shakespeare, in his play King Lear, mentions the exploits of crystal pickers climbing the cliffs in search of this rare plant.
Not only in literature, but also in gastronomy, the indomitable crystal continues to untie languages. In France, it is sometimes called «sea celery» or «sea fennel». In Britain, some restaurants try to cook it, intrigued by its bitter taste so pronounced.
But it is finally in the field of cosmetics that the marine crystal has the most success. Rich in phenolic acid, it stimulates fibroblasts for a more toned skin. If the marine crystal is able to break a rock, it is also able to fight effectively against wrinkles. It works wonders in all Algologie products since its firming properties allow the skin to be naturally stimulated and revitalized.
If the marine crystal is the enemy of the rocks, it is for you the best ally. It illuminates and unifies your complexion. It gives you the strength and look of a fighter. And after applying the «élixir du rivage» or the «Crème de la Presqu’île», I will not be surprised that your resplendent face screams victory at the highest point of the cliff that you have climbed without problem.
