Bifurcaria Bifurcata Algae Extract
Bifurcaria Bifurcata is a genus of brown algae found on the rocky shores of North America and Europe and in the tidal pools of the Atlantic Ocean. The aqueous extract of this alga helps regulate the main factors involved in the process of melanogenesis, protects against the formation of free radicals, and promotes skin pigmentation even independently of sun exposure. Accelerates tanning for a healthy and radiant complexion.
Properties and Use in Cosmetics
In the cosmetic industry in recent years, there has been a growing demand for products to be applied to the skin to improve its condition and appearance. Unfortunately, sun exposure, which might seemingly have this effect, can, on the contrary, cause serious damage to the skin. For this reason, it is necessary to use functional active ingredients that protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. The properties of the alga Bifurcaria Bifurcata promote tanning even “without sun”, along with a potential benefit in terms of photoprotection against harmful UV radiation.
Studies have shown that the use of this ingredient in the cream results in:
- an increase in melanin content in cells regardless of sun exposure
- good preservation of tissues after topical application, demonstrating the skin compatibility of the product
- acceleration of UV tanning and reviving dull skin, giving the complexion a more radiant and healthy appearance
- effective protection of the skin from free radicals and UVA and UVB radiation, helping to maintain a harmonious tan while improving the skin's natural protection.
