Algae Peptide

Algae Peptide is a water-based active ingredient extracted from Chlamydomonas acidophila, sustainably sourced from France and bioinspired from the ecosystem where this microalga was originally found. It thrives in waters known to be highly inhospitable (pH, heavy metals, ...). The resulting concentration of peptides helps the skin endure the extreme conditions of its environment. Algae Peptide acts as a cocoon for the skin. By inhibiting the key markers involved in inflammation, it protects the most sensitive skin from over-reactions caused by external factors, such as temperature variations, wind, friction, etc. It also prevents the skin from overreacting to nickel, a metal known to be an allergen. To do this, it inhibits the activation of basophils and immune cells and limits their secretion of histamine, a hormone involved in the allergic reaction. Sensitive skin is protected from overreacting to chemical stresses even at maximum erythema intensity and continues to reduce the visibl
