INCI name
Alaria Esculenta Extract
Alaria esculenta is a brown edible seaweed. Rich in antioxidant oligosaccharides protects the skin from UV-induced damage and oxidative stress.
Alaria esculenta extract has a skin-lightening effect similar to vitamin B3, which blocks melanin transfer from melanocytes to the intracellular medium. A scientific study showed that this alga extract significantly decreases melanosome transfer, meanwhile doesn't change melanin production levels, exhibiting noticeable skin lightening properties.
