Description
Chondrus Crispus Extract is an extract of red seaweed (Irish moss), rich in natural polysaccharides (including carrageenan), minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. In cosmetics, it is used as a natural moisturizer, thickener, film-forming agent and soothing agent. Thanks to the content of mucilages, Chondrus Crispus retains moisture on the surface of the skin, softens it and creates a light protective film. It also soothes irritation, has a mild cooling effect and supports the skin's microbiome. It is ideal for dry, sensitive and irritated skin. It is often used in moisturizing creams, gels, serums, shampoos and aftershave products.
