PHAEOCYSTIS ANTARCTICA EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING

Originating from a unique microalga found in the Antarctic, Phaeocystis Antarctica Extract is posited to offer intrinsic skin protection. This ingredient is believed to leverage its natural defense mechanisms to safeguard the skin against various environmental stressors.

Summary

Antioxidant Skin Protecting Hair Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

At a cellular level, Phaeocystis antarctica synthesizes dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a compound hypothesized to exhibit antioxidant, osmoprotectant, and cryoprotectant properties for the alga itself. When incorporated into skincare, this extract is theorized to impart these protective benefits to human skin, potentially shielding it from oxidative damage, dehydration, and adverse environmental conditions.
