A marine plankton active. Well tolerated; independent data limited.
Plankton Extract is a marine-derived extract obtained from plankton. In cosmetics it is added as a conditioning ingredient, and the manufacturer usually links it with skin hydration and protection. On efficacy it is fair to be honest: independent data are scarce. The reasonable view is to treat it as a supporting ingredient within a formula, not an active with proven benefit. The marketing claims run ahead of the evidence, so a marked result should not be expected from its presence alone. Applied topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good. Irritation and allergy potential are low, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. In cosmetic formulas most people show no reaction.
