Want dark spots for a more luminous and radiant skin? This new extract is obtained from the brown alga (Ascophyllum Nodosum), or also known as brown seaweed. Here’s what they are:

• Ascophyllum nodosum is a large, common brown alga (Phaeophyceae) of the northern Atlantic Ocean. It is common on the north-western coast of Europe and the north-eastern coast of North America.
• Daily exposed to UV rays, this seaweed has developed a balancing system of its pigmentation process.
• This seaweed has long fronds with large egg-shaped air-bladders set in series. The fronds can reach 2 m in length.

Why do dark spots appear on the skin?

Over-exposure to UV radiation, as well as the passing years, can disrupt the process responsible for natural skin colouration, known as melanogenesis. This complex cellular process is stimulated by light: the more the skin is exposed to the sun, the more melanocytes produce melanin to protect it (causing the skin to tan). However, with age, the production of melanocytes can become disorganized and some keratinocytes end up containing too much melanin. This, combined with a slower rate of cell renewal, leads to the appearance of dark spots in certain areas.

This brown seaweed acts at 4 levels of skin pigmentation, for whitening and brightening effect:

• Slowdown of melanin synthesis, through the inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme.
• Inhibition of melanin pigmentation, through an anti-free radical action that decreases oxidation reaction.
• Increase of melanin elimination, through the stimulation of cell renewal
• Stimulation of natural skin exfoliation for an even-toned and brighter complexion.
