An underwater journey in search of ingredients

Water comprises over 70% of the Earth’s surface and is the home of a considerable amount of organisms that are continuously adapting to their varying surroundings. The seas and oceans entail a great variety of algae with potential skin care benefits and also of microorganisms able to produce specific metabolites that in turn help benefit the skin in different ways.

By exploring several marine environments from different locations, a selection of sustainable cosmetic ingredients was obtained and presented under the concept of Marine Beauty. 

The wide diversity of temperatures, salinity, and other characteristics of the world’s waters are responsible for the great diversity of organisms inhabiting them. Algae represent one of the major forms of life and have been acknowledged since ancient times for their medical and skin care benefits. The marine environment is also the habitat of a wide assortment of microorganisms that produce different secondary metabolites for adaptation to their particular environment, which at the same time are used for cosmetic purposes as a way to improve the skin condition. With this in mind, a subaquatic expedition around the world, in search of marine innovative cosmetic ingredients, started.
