ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist – Ultimate protection for sensitive skin!
ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist protects and repairs the skin. Thanks to its carefully encapsulated diatom oil ingredient, this innovation offers a novel approach to treating superficial inflammatory skin conditions, providing both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
Essentially, ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist acts as a dual inhibitor of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13, two key cytokines involved in the inflammatory cascade. By blocking their activity, it effectively reduces skin hypersensitivity, inhibits inflammation, and supports the natural repair of the skin barrier. This dual action makes ALGAKTIV®Optimmunist a robust solution for people with sensitive or reactive skin, especially in environments characterized by urban stressors and external influences.
Clinical evaluations underscore excellent efficacy. In a study involving 30 volunteers who were exposed to capsaicin in the hypersensitive nasolabial area, skin reactions peaked within minutes. The application of just 1% ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist immediately soothed the skin and showed a visible soothing and calming effect within 0–10 minutes. Remarkably, a single application repaired long-lasting barrier damage within 18 hours and significantly reduced erythema. Beyond acute reactions, ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist provided lasting protection: itching subsided in all volunteers within 10 days, while moisture content increased by +9.5% after 28 days of continuous use.
ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist not only combats short-term sensitivities but also strengthens the skin's immune defenses for lasting health. It is available in both oil-soluble and water-soluble forms and adapts seamlessly to various formulations, enabling gentle care for all sensitive skin types.
With its soothing, repairing, and protective effects, ALGAKTIV® Optimmunist sets new standards for skin immunity—an intelligent solution for modern lifestyles, in which skin reactivity and external stress factors are on the rise.
