When you think of a balm, nourishing oils and protective butters often come to mind. But at the heart of our next-generation balm lies something more advanced: the power of marine algae. Specifically, we use red algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) and brown algae (Laminaria japonica) — two sustainably sourced actives that transform a simple balm into a targeted, skin-rejuvenating treatment.
Marine algae are often called the “superfoods of the sea,” packed with unique compounds not found in land plants. By including both red and brown algae, our balm delivers a synergy of benefits: calming inflammation, protecting against free radical damage, and reducing the visible signs of aging.
Why We Use Red Algae (Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract)
Key Compound: Astaxanthin
Red algae is one of the richest natural sources of astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid that protects skin from oxidative stress and inflammation.
Benefits in our balm:
-
Decreases inflammation – Helps calm redness, irritation, and problem skin.
-
Defends against “inflammaging” – Reduces the impact of chronic, low-level inflammation that accelerates visible aging.
-
Supports healthy complexion – Encourages balance in the skin environment, promoting overall radiance.
Sustainability Note:
Our red algae extract is cultivated in-house through eco-conscious biotechnology, reducing the need for wild harvesting while ensuring purity and traceability.
Why We Use Brown Algae (Laminaria Japonica Extract)
Key Compound: Fucoidan
Brown algae is abundant in fucoidan, a polysaccharide recognized for its rejuvenating and antioxidant properties.
Benefits in our balm:
-
Wrinkle reduction – Helps smooth fine lines by supporting skin structure and elasticity.
-
Antioxidant protection – Shields the skin from free radical damage caused by pollution and UV exposure.
-
Rejuvenating effect – Infuses skin with marine nutrients, optimizing skin health and vitality.
Sustainability Note:
Our brown algae extract is also eco-consciously sourced, providing potent benefits while respecting marine ecosystems.
Why Combine Red & Brown Algae in a Balm?
The skin faces two constant challenges: inflammation and oxidative stress.
-
Red algae targets inflammation at its root, calming and restoring balance.
-
Brown algae defends against oxidative stress, rejuvenating the skin and helping prevent premature aging.
Together, they form a powerful duo in our balm, offering calming + repairing + protective benefits in one application. This synergy makes the balm more than just a moisturizer — it becomes a true treatment for long-term skin resilience and radiance.
Final Thoughts
By infusing our balm with Haematococcus pluvialis (red algae) and Laminaria japonica (brown algae), we’ve elevated it far beyond the traditional balm. These marine actives provide:
-
Anti-inflammatory support for calm, balanced skin
-
Antioxidant protection to defend against environmental stressors
-
Rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction for a youthful, healthy glow
And because both extracts are cultivated through sustainable and eco-conscious methods, you can feel confident that your skincare choice is as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.
So when you reach for our balm, you’re not just softening dry cuticles or soothing rough patches — you’re treating your skin to the future of marine-powered skincare.
