A seaweed moisturizing active. Safe.
Fucus Vesiculosus Extract comes from a brown alga. Its INCI is Fucus Vesiculosus Extract. It supplies polysaccharides and minerals that hold water at the surface and help calm the skin. As a plant humectant and soother it plays a supporting role: the polysaccharide fraction draws water and softens the feeling of tightness. It is not an active with large proven effect; it works as hydrating and comfort help within the formula, not as the lead. Topically its passage into the body is negligible, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high and irritation and allergy are uncommon. It suits sensitive skin. With no occlusive oil, it poses no problem on oily or acne-prone skin.
