A dive into the ocean inspired ingredients

Hello there!

Today, we will go deep into the ocean to explore some of the incredible ingredients that an ocean has to offer. Apart from beautiful corals, we have many skincare solutions lying underwater.

The riches of the sea are making waves in the cosmetics industry, and for good reason. Seaweed, oysters, and, more simply, even seawater has numerous skin benefits. Marine active ingredients have many benefits, including hydration, firmness, radiance, protection, and regeneration. From clean beauty to men’s beauty, skin care and cosmetic industries are aiming at different things this year. Similarly, the marine actives are also gaining some significant attention due to their anti-aging, hydrating properties.

Formulator Sample Shop has some great recommendations of some of the aqua actives to incorporate in our daily lives, Let’s dive in!


FSS CytoPure PF

Has anyone of us have heard of glutathione? It sounds different right? But, to our surprise, it is known as the most important molecule our skin needs. It is also addressed as the "master ingredient” that improves the health of our skin by detoxification and cleansing which prevents the cause of aging. FSS CytoPure PF is one of the cool ingredients which has the power to activate unique cleansing abilities of glutathione in our skin. It can actually help slow down the skin aging process within our skin, isn’t it amazing? FSS CytoPure PF helps reverse the harmful effects of cellular pollution and provides protection against external environmental pollution. FSS CytoPure PF is ideal for both skin and scalp care formulations aimed to detoxify aging cells. It is a new approach to aging drawn from sulfur biology.

Exclusive properties

o  FSS CytoPure PF addresses pollution at a cellular level.

o  It provides protection against cellular and external environmental pollution.

o  It is ideal for skin and scalp care formulations aimed to detoxify aging cells.

o  FSS CytoPure PF activates the specific oxidant and toxin cleansing power of glutathione in the skin to slow down the rate of the aging process from within the cell.

Sustainably sourced ingredients are becoming more popular among consumers. As natural beauty continues to grow, personal care and cosmetic ingredients that are sourced from nature, inspired by nature, bio-based, and sustainable are gaining traction in the global market. Green algae have a great potential to generate oils and other valuable byproducts in a sustainable fashion that can be used in cosmetics to endow the dermis with restorative and protective properties, plumping the skin by rehydrating skin cells. One such ingredient from green algae is the AqcuaSeal® Algae.

FSS AqcuaSeal® Algae 

FSS AqcuaSeal® Algae is an ingredient that comes from a special type of green algae called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This alga has the ability to produce numerous chloroplasts when exposed to excessive UV light, which are the powerhouses inside the algae cells. Chloroplasts are important as lipid fractions are extracted to create FSS AcquaSeal® Algae that can offer some amazing benefits to our skin. FSS AcquaSeal® Algae helps in cell regeneration with cellular renewal mechanism making our skin stay fresh. Due to its cellular hydration property, this ingredient has the ability to moisturize our skin. FSS AcquaSeal® Algae also promotes cellular proliferation which helps our skin cells multiply and stay active. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. FSS AcquaSeal® Algae activates nuclear transcription factors called RxR and PPAR which stimulates epidermal and dermal proliferation.


Exclusive properties

o  The lipids in FSS AcquaSeal® Algae work by reducing NF-kB activation, as well as TNF -α (a proinflammatory cytokine).

o  Designed to target skin aging at a genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic level for youthful, more beautiful skin.

o  Capable of providing cellular renewal, cellular hydration, cellular proliferation, and anti-inflammation benefits to defend against aging skin.

As time passes by, our skin tends to lose its shine, glow and lacks luster. It could be due to the exposure to harmful UV rays, toxins from the environment etc. Therefore, in order to rejuvenate our skin to tackle its nutrients and detoxify, we have one of the finest ingredients called FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced.

We saved the best for the last!

FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced

It is believed that mitochondria are the cause of aging. According to this hypothesis of aging, oxidative metabolism produces pollutants as a byproduct, which causes the damage that results in aging. But most anti-aging ingredients are unfamiliar with this problem. These products hide the issue by limiting external oxidative damage with antioxidants or masking prior damage with film formers that tighten the skin. Due to the concentration and close proximity of mitochondrial contaminants to DNA, which pose a greater risk than exterior pollutants, this needs to change. FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced increase oxygen consumption, while simultaneously reducing the formation of ROS to increase overall mitochondrial efficiency.

This ingredient can increase oxygen consumption to help cells consume oxygen more efficiently thus making less oxygen available to form reactive oxygen species (ROS). Through a detoxification process, FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced reduces the production of toxins. It can help slow down the aging process by addressing cellular damage. The generation of structural proteins necessary for preserving the firmness and suppleness of the skin has also been boosted by bioferment extracts. This compound also helps to preserve the general look and health of our skin by promoting wound-healing. FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced can efficiently detoxify the skin by targeting internal pollution, where the problem starts.


Exclusive properties

o  Developed from cultured wakame cells, FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced targets the mitochondria, which has been shown to contribute to the longevity of cells and minimize damage at a cellular level.

o  With cells working more efficiently, less toxins are produced, thus providing detoxification from within.

o  Our research suggests that this product can deliver potent anti-aging benefits to minimize damage at the cellular level, where aging begins.

o  FSS Wakame Bioferment Advanced stops intrinsic damage by enhancing oxidative phosphorylation while limiting mitochondrial stress.

So, let’s not waste time in figuring out the perfect natural ingredients for skincare, but make the right choice with some of our best Ocean inspired actives.
