Plankton Extract

Plankton Extract is an extract of Marine Biomass that includes one or more of the following organisms: Thalassoplankton, green micro-algae, diatoms, greenish-blue, and nitrogen-fixed seaweed. Plankton was found to be an effective weight reducer because of its high iodine content and stimulating effect on the thyroid.

Plankton Extract has moisturizing and soothing properties. Marine Biomass is used in the external treatment of cellulitis, rheumatism, sprains, bruises, and psoriasis.

Plankton is high in silicon, which is believed to keep the skin from wrinkling and sagging. It is considered an essential food for the hair's roots. Plankton contains vitamins and minerals that benefit the skin, fingernails, and hair. It can be used with positive effects in weight-control diets and can be added to the bath to smooth the skin.

Plankton Extract is a light to medium-green liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in water in any proportion. To stimulate the skin and scalp, it is used in creams, lotions, toners, masks, gels, soaps, and shampoos. Plankton Extract can also be used in cellular repair products and those formulated to treat cellulitis.
