Algae: small dermocosmetic treasures, are veritable powerhouses of nutrients for the skin. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they have become key ingredients in many Ixya skincare treatments over time, thanks to their ability to regenerate, hydrate, and protect the skin from external aggressors.
What are dermocosmetic algae?
Dermoalgae are algae used in cosmetics for their extraordinary properties beneficial to the skin. These microalgae are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. The combination of these substances performs a targeted action to regenerate, protect, and improve the skin's appearance. Dermoalgae have become established as essential ingredients in anti-aging and purifying products, thanks to their ability to create a natural barrier against external agents. In addition to protecting our skin from pollution and external agents, they are able to promote collagen production. And that's not all.
Ixya's dermoalgae
Within Ixya's skincare products, three extraordinary algae take center stage:
- Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and slows down aging.
- Chlorella Vulgaris, which helps protect the skin from external agents and purify it.
- Ixya's Spirulina, cultivated in Ischian hyperthermal water, offers a unique combination of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that nourish and tone the skin.
Let's discover in detail the amazing powers of dermoalgae!
Spirulina, the Green and Blue Energy Boost
Spirulina is a true beauty alga, and a panacea for all skin types. Rich in B, E, A, and K vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids such as Omega 6, Spirulina is a powerful ally against skin aging. Its effects are enhanced by Ixya's cultivation method, which involves growing Spirulina in Ischian hyperthermal water! Skincare products containing spirulina are ideal for those seeking a toning and regenerating treatment, capable of giving new energy to the skin, making it visibly healthier and more radiant.
Astaxanthin for Eternal Youth
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant extracted from the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, and it is one of the most effective natural elements in counteracting skin aging. Its action against free radicals is 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C! Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Astaxanthin helps prevent damage caused by UV rays and pollution, reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and age spots. It also contributes to stimulating collagen production, which keeps the skin elastic and toned.
Chlorella, Absolute Purity
Chlorella is a unicellular freshwater green alga with extraordinary regenerative and nutritional capabilities. Considered a superfood, Chlorella is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which give it a powerful skin-protecting action. This alga, in fact, defends the skin from external agents such as pollution and environmental stress. Chlorella promotes detoxification thanks to the presence of chlorellin, which acts as a chelating agent against heavy metals, purifying the skin and strengthening its natural defenses. In short, an alga that is a true must-have for skincare enthusiasts!
