Laminaria Digitata seaweed at the service of our skin

Laminaria Digitata seaweed is a hero for our skin. Our skin can be confronted with many challenges in our daily lives, but using this algae provides protection against any external aggression. What is this very special algae? What are its benefits and how do you use it? Find out in this article!

Laminaria Digitata is an extremelyophilic brown algae with a fabulous lifespan of up to 5 years. As a result, it is classed as one of the most resistant algae.

It is easily recognised by its size. It measures between 1 and 4 metres in height and consists of a thallus divided into several strips. Its colour varies from brown/green to olive-green/beige.

It can be found along the coasts of Brittany and the North and South Atlantic.

Les bienfaits de cette algue pour la peau

Does the skin on your face seem less firm? Do you feel a slight sagging of the face and its contours? Or the appearance of wrinkles?

These discomforts are due to a reduction in the available quantity of 3 elements that make up the epidermis:

  • collagen ;
  • elastin ;
  • hyaluronic acid.

This can happen when the skin is exposed to external aggressors such as tobacco, sun or pollution. The same applies to internal causes such as the breakdown of collagen and elastic fibres or cell ageing.

To remedy this, Laminaria Digitata seaweed has a number of special features that can rapidly reduce these undesirable effects. Thanks to its richness in alginates, mannitol, amino acids and iodine, Laminaria Digitata has very strong moisturising*, remineralising and protective properties. It's for all these benefits that we use it regularly in our Algologie skin care products.
