HELIONORI®
HELIONORI® is a marine agent prepared from the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis known to contain mycosporine-like amino-acids. Stable to solar light and heat exposure, it protects against UVA damage providing a natural alternative to synthetic UVA filters. Mycosporine-like amino-acids (MAAs) include water soluble nitrogenous compounds typically absorbing between 310 nm and 360 nm and acting as natural UV sunscreens. These compounds, never present in terrestrial environments (except in fungi spores) are always reported in marine organisms (animals and algae) exposed to intense UV stress. HELIONORI® works as a genuine bioprotector against UVA induced skin damage. It prevents the formation of sun burn cells and protects DNA (Comet assay on human melanocytes) and cell membranes against UVA. It is used in sun care cosmetic applications. It is China compliant.

ASTAPLANCTON® G8
ASTAPLANCTON® G8 is a protective agent prepared from the green vegetative cells of Haematococcus pluvialis It boosts skin metabolism and captures both reactive oxygen and reactive carbonyl species to protect against oxidative stress. In complement with ASTAPLANCTON®HA, it forms a highly potent protective duo-system for high performance antioxidant protection and combat accelerated skin aging. This product is suitable for skin care applications such as protective products and anti-aging products. It is China compliant.
ASTAPLANCTON® HA
ASTAPLANCTON® HA is a potent antioxidant protector prepared from red stage of Haematococcus pluvialis cultured under inductive high light intensity to induce astaxanthin synthesis. It protects against UVA-UVB. It works as an efficient protector against UV damage for delaying skin photoaeing. In association with ASTAPLANCTON® G8, the protective performance increases. Preservative free and China compliant.
BRONZ'ALG®
BRONZ'ALG® is a patented combination of the alga Bifurcaria bifurcata with acetyl-tyrosine. It facilitates melanin synthesis while protecting against UVA/UVB-induced damage. It accelerates tanning and revives dull skin. Bifurcaria bifurcata contains interesting chemicals, notably several oligomers of phloroglucinol, known for their biological properties. BRONZ'ALG® helps to regulate the major genes of melanogenesis pathways, notably MITF factor and melanogenic enzymes TYR and TYRP-1 implicated in melanin formation, all that makes more compelling its pro-pigmenting capability. It facilitates the melanin synthesis in melanocytes and improves the interactions melanocytes-keratinocytes. In addition, it promotes skin pigmentation independently to sun exposure. According to clinical studies, BRONZ'ALG® accelerates tanning and revives dull skin for a healthy glowing complexion. It guarantees potent skin protection against free radicals and both UVA and UVB radiations, that helps maintain a harmonious tan and improve the skin’s own natural UV protection. This product is ideal for use in tanning products, sun care, and daily skin care applications.
CAPHIRA®
CAPHIRA® is a smart natural patented combination of the red alga Kappaphycus alvarezzi, supplemented with sea water and vegetable organic glycerin. Its well-balanced composition (rich content in magnesium, iron and zinc) will help fighting mineral deficiencies known to cause problems to hair growth and scalp vitality. It is revealed as a powerful global protector of the three parts of hair: the follicle, the fiber and the scalp to consolidate the hair’s integrity.
