INCI

Water (and) Laminaria Japonica Extract (and) 1,2-Hexanediol (and) Caprylyl Glycol

Overview

FucoSkin® is an exceptional fucoidan-polysaccharide-rich extract, harnessed from the brown algae Laminaria japonica using a cutting-edge aqueous extraction process. This remarkable compound has undergone rigorous clinical testing and is proudly Halal certified.

Fucoidan is highly bioactive compound that plays a pivotal role in protecting seaweed from water-borne pathogens and damage caused by ultraviolet light (UV). Extensive research has demonstrated that fucoidan extracts possess similar remarkable skin-protective effects and offer a wide range of benefits in dermatological applications.

FucoSkin® acts as a powerful anti-aging and anti-wrinkle active ingredient. It helps significantly reduce the depth of wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and dermal collagen structure, thus reversing the signs of aging. It is also a good inhibitor of the collagen-degrading enzymes, known as “matrix metalloproteases” (MMP) and can specifically down-regulate UVB-induced MMP expression to prevent premature aging of skin.

Light Brown to Yellowish Brown Liquid

1%: Improve skin texture and gloss, reduce pores, reduce epidermal pigmentation and UV spots, improve dermal collagen structure

3%: Reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, reduce skin redness, anti-blue light

The skin absorption and biological activity of fucoidan compounds exhibit an inverse relationship with the molecular weight of the molecules. Consequently, fucoidan compounds demonstrate higher activity when the polysaccharide chain is shorter. Unlike larger polysaccharides that tend to remain on the skin’s surface, FucoSkin® exhibits exceptional penetration capabilities
