The ocean is often considered a source of untapped natural treasures filled with marine plants and organisms that provide a natural source of active ingredients for health and beauty. Off the beautiful coast of Brittany, seaweed is one of the widely available marine resources that has not yet revealed all its secrets.

Subjected to extreme weather conditions (wind, currents, tides, exposure to UV rays, etc.), algae create natural defense mechanisms that give them exceptional properties and a great wealth of biochemical compounds. These numerous protective components can also benefit human skin, providing anti-aging, detoxifying and revitalizing properties.

RonaCare® ReviMer, developed from Fucus Serratus algae extract, can be used as a skin vitality booster, protecting it against pollution and giving it a fresh appearance.

Phlorotannins have a protective effect on collagen and when applied to the skin, help strengthen the extracellular matrix and provide anti-aging benefits. Developed from Pelvetia canaliculata extract, RonaCare® JouvaMer offers a boosting effect for radiant, youthful skin.

These two new algae active ingredients join the existing RonaCare® RenouMer, extracted from Polysiphonia Elongata, which naturally regenerates the skin while providing extra hydration.

The efficacy of the three algae actives has been extensively tested through in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies.
