For most people, a vacation means only one thing: relaxing on a beautiful beach. But in addition to enjoying the natural benefits, preserving the sea is also important for the richness of life in it; seaweed, marine collagen and various minerals are the new hit of the beauty industry due to their numerous benefits. The sea is truly a fantastic source of ingredients for beauty and skin health, which can work both internally and externally; if we take them as supplements and enrich our Mediterranean diet with them, combined with facial care enriched with the sea - you will see results on your skin even faster.

SEAWEED

Algae are simple chlorophyll-containing organisms that come from a family of over 20,000 different species. They are divided into macroalgae, such as seaweed, and microalgae, organisms visible only under a microscope. Although they are used in cosmetics as thickening ingredients, they are increasingly becoming a star ingredient that, with its wealth of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, allows for significant changes in the skin.

In general, they have a high percentage of copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, which means they are good at hydrating, nourishing and soothing the skin and have an anti-aging effect by boosting the production of elastin and collagen in the skin. They can also protect the skin from sun damage and balance sebum secretion, help with hyperpigmentation and reduce redness and skin sensitivity. This makes them an ideal ingredient in a wide variety of products for all skin types.

Although they have been used in the Far East for years, seaweed has been popular in the West since the 1960s, when the cult cosmetic brand La Mer began using it. But L'ADRIA REGENERATIVE CREAM. also contains miraculous seaweed.

MARINE COLLAGEN

In the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about collagen as a supplement that helps rejuvenate, strengthen, and beautify the skin from within, but the best effects in skin renewal are given in combination with topically applied collagen. There are several types of collagen, which are obtained from animals, but the most popular is marine collagen.

Marine collagen helps build strong, flexible and resilient bones, connective tissues and skin and contains so-called Type 1 Collagen which makes up 85% of the collagen in the structure of human skin. When taken orally, it helps boost the skin’s natural collagen production, which helps reduce the loss of skin tone and elasticity and helps smooth and hydrate the skin. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and helps with wound healing. Topically, in cosmetic products, marine collagen creates a semi-permeable protective moisturizing layer on the skin that instantly smoothes and hydrates the skin. The result? An overall rejuvenated appearance!

SEA WATER

Seawater has a fantastic effect on the skin. First of all, it contains a handful of minerals that heal the skin, such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and sulfur, which help open pores, absorb excess sebum, help with acne, acne scars and hyperpigmentation, reduce inflammation... at the same time, it has a calming and anti-stress effect, which was used for this purpose by the ancient Greeks. Seawater can be used in various face and body care products, and is currently particularly popular in the detox and anti-acne sector.
