What is brown algae extract?
Brown algae extract is an ingredient extracted from higher-level multicellular algae, mainly from multicellular algae such as brown algae and kelp. It contains a variety of nutrients and active ingredients, such as algae polysaccharides, brown algae polyphenols, brown algae oligosaccharides, sterol compounds, terpenoid compounds, etc. These ingredients give brown algae extract a variety of skin care and health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, immune enhancement, blood sugar regulation, lowering blood lipids, etc.
This extract has multiple biological functions and is regarded as a potential green feed additive. It not only has important applications in feed and agriculture, but is also regarded as a resource for both medicine and food, and has a significant effect on promoting human health.
What is brown algae good for?
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
The polysaccharides and polyphenols contained in it have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities. Fucoidan and brown algae polyphenols can inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species and reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms related to skin aging and inflammation.
Antibacterial
An active ingredient with antibacterial effect. Preservatives are usually added to cosmetics to inhibit bacterial growth, but preservatives can have adverse effects on the skin.
Regulate blood sugar and blood lipids
It can regulate blood sugar and blood lipid levels, which may be beneficial for patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
Beauty and skin care
It has moisturizing, antioxidant and soothing effects and is often used in skin care and beauty products. For example, brown algae polysaccharides and brown algae polyphenols can be used to make products such as skin care and facial masks to help improve skin health.
Skin whitening
Brown algae has active ingredients with whitening effects. Skin whitening can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms, one of the main ways is the inhibition of tyrosinase activity. Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the process of pigment formation. Inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase can reduce the formation of melanin.
Moisturizing and anti-aging
In cosmetics and skin care products, it mainly acts as an emollient, moisturizer, soothing and anti-allergic. It belongs to the seaweed family and has the effects of promoting metabolism and softening the skin. It has significant calming and moisturizing effects.
Enhance immunity
The active ingredients such as brown algae polysaccharides and brown algae polyphenols can enhance the body's immunity and help resist the invasion of viruses and bacteria.
What are the benefits for the skin?
Anti-wrinkle and skin repair
Brown algae extract can promote the regeneration of skin cells, improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. The polysaccharide components in the extract can inhibit the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, thereby reducing the degradation of collagen and maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
Improvement of skin barrier function
By promoting the proliferation of keratinocytes and repairing the skin barrier, the skin's tolerance and resistance are improved, and the discomfort of seasonal changes is alleviated.
Inhibition of collagen degradation
Collagen is an important component for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Inhibiting its degradation can keep the skin young.
Strong antioxidant capacity
It can effectively resist the invasion of free radicals, delay skin aging, and maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
Brown algae polysaccharide is a naturally occurring substance that can effectively inhibit the secretion of histamine, has good anti-inflammatory effects, and has inhibitory effects on a variety of bacteria.
Strong moisture absorption and moisturizing
It can effectively absorb excess moisture from the environment and keep the skin moist, making the skin more delicate and elastic.
Inhibits pigment deposition
Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the process of pigment formation. Inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase can reduce the formation of melanin. Prevents spots and dullness caused by ultraviolet rays and environmental pollution, keeping the skin bright and even.
