Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract's primary noted action in cosmetics is as a perfuming agent. However, general Fucus extracts, which share similar compounds like alginic acid, soluble glucosans, and carotenoids, are theorized to provide moisturizing, film-forming, soothing, and anti-irritant effects on the skin. Broader Fucus species, such as Fucus vesiculosus, have demonstrated additional benefits including antioxidant protection via polyphenols, anti-inflammatory actions, and anti-aging properties through collagen stimulation, enzyme inhibition, and some protection against UV radiation.
