Red Algae Extract is a natural, special carrageenan extracted from red algae (Chondrus crispus), a deep-sea plant living in extreme environmental conditions.
This substance has two natural, stimulating effects: it tightens the skin's surface by creating a natural, elastic film and leaves your skin feeling fresh and silky. This "patch effect" allows additional ingredients to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin more effectively.
