Carrageenan

A Natural Marine Polymer for Skin Protection and Hydration

Carrageenan, derived from the red seaweed Chondrus Crispus, is a highly regarded marine polysaccharide in the aesthetic industry. Often referred to as a "vegetal silicone," Carrageenan forms a delicate, breathable film on the skin's surface. This allows Carrageenan to effectively prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) while providing an immediate smoothing effect and long-lasting comfort.

From a scientific standpoint, Carrageenan possesses an exceptional ability to bind water molecules, making it a superior hydrating agent. In professional formulations, it functions as a natural texturizer that also delivers vital minerals like calcium and magnesium to the epidermis. Skincare professionals value Carrageenan particularly for treating sensitive and dehydrated skin, as it strengthens the natural barrier and soothes irritation caused by environmental stressors.
