Algae
The term algae is normally used to denote a complex mixture of many seaweeds. Seaweeds contain much higher levels of minerals than terrestrial plants and also contain a rich selection of trace elements, amino acids, short chain proteins and polysaccharides. The polysaccharides are of particular importance, as these natural sugars can have a profound benefit on the skin, especially for increased moisturisation, skin smoothing and skin softening. Sea algae are also known to reduce inflammation of the skin and increase hydration.
