Product description:
InAlgae® HEX – natural skincare from the sea! 
InAlgae® HEXis an innovative marine active ingredient derived from the red algae Chondrus crispus that combines natural exfoliation, intense hydration, and skin-soothing properties in a single ingredient. Thanks to its combination of finely ground algae particles and a bioactive extract, InAlgae®HEX is ideal for modern skincare formulations that blend effectiveness with natural ingredients.
The natural algae particles provide gentle mechanical exfoliation by gently removing dead skin cells and smoothing the skin’s surface.
In a clinical in vivo study, a significant reduction in skin friction of 35.6% was demonstrated just 30 minutes after applying a formulation containing 2% InAlgae® HEX. This result suggests a smoother skin texture and may support the absorption of other cosmetic active ingredients.
In addition to its exfoliating effect, InAlgae®HEX helps maintain the skin’s moisture levels. In vitro studies show that the active ingredient inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. As a result, the skin’s natural moisture is retained for longer. Additionally, the ingredient forms a protective film on the skin’s surface that reduces transepidermal water loss and supports long-lasting hydration.
In addition, InAlgae® HEXhas skin-soothing properties. The polysaccharides, peptides, and phenolic compounds it contains help reduce oxidative processes and alleviate signs of skin irritation, such as redness. In laboratory tests, the active ingredient demonstrated a stronger inhibitory effect on nitric oxide radicals than aloe vera extract at the same concentration.
Thanks to its multifunctional properties, InAlgae®HEX is suitable for anti-aging products, face masks, exfoliants, dermocosmetics, and daily skincare. The combination of scientifically proven efficacy and natural origin makes this marine active ingredient a versatile solution for modern cosmetic formulations.
