Silicone vegetable algae - carrageenan
Carrageenan (a vegetable silicone from algae), also referred to as oligogeline, is a red algae extract (chondrus crispus, carrageen moss). This substance provides the skin with microcollagen which reduces wrinkles, slows down the ageing process and improves firmness. It contains minerals such as magnesium and calcium which balance the skin mineral distribution. It maintains the optimal moisture level of the epidermis horny layer and plays the role of a natural sun filter which protects against UVA radiation.

Carrageenan (a vegetable silicone from algae), also referred to as oligogeline, is a red algae extract (chondrus crispus, carrageen moss).

It contains minerals such as magnesium and calcium which balance the skin mineral distribution. It maintains the optimal moisture level of the epidermis horny layer and plays the role of a natural sun filter which protects against UVA radiation.
Carrageenan contains vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and PP which are crucial for proper skin functioning. Due to anti-inflammatory properties, it accelerates healing of injuries and smooths the skin.
It is a perfect ingredient for hair cosmetics (shampoos, conditioners and masks). It evens the hair surface, strengthens them and improves softness.
Carrageenan is also a thickening agent which is used in cheese and light emulsions.
In colour cosmetics it may be successfully used instead of artificial silicones — an ideal solution for foundations, cream powders, eye shadows and mascaras. It increases slipperiness which makes cosmetic distribution easier and improves its durability while intensively moistening and nourishing the skin. It is also non- comedogenic, therefore, it may be used in cosmetics for acne complexion, including complexion with increased seborrhoea.
