ALGAETECH™ PORPHYRIDIUM

AlgaeTech™ Porphyridium is derived from the red microalga Porphyridium cruentum. This ingredient creates a natural polysaccharide shield that protects skin cells and enhances hydration. Rich in sulfated polysaccharides, proteins, sugars, and marine minerals, it strengthens the skin barrier and supports regeneration. In formulations, it improves moisturization, reduces inflammation, and provides visible anti-aging benefits. Through advanced biotechnology, its unique composition is optimized for stability, bioavailability, and high-performance results in skin care.
