Snow Algae is one of the most exciting natural ingredients in skincare at the moment. With powerful anti-ageing properties, we are loving the incredible results.

So what is Snow Algae?

Snow Algae, or pink snow, is a species of green algae that’s often found on mountains in the coldest climates in the world such as the Himalayas and Arctic Coast. It is known for its unique ability to survive and thrive in extreme environmental conditions, including freezing temperatures, intense sunlight, and high UV radiation.

What are the key components of Snow Algae?

Snow Algae contains several components that are beneficial for the skin, including carotenoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, while polyphenols have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe and calm the skin. Polysaccharides, on the other hand, help to hydrate and plump the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.

What are the skin benefits of Snow Algae?

One of the main benefits of Snow Algae for the skin is its anti-ageing properties. It has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. Snow Algae also helps to improve skin hydration, which is important for maintaining a healthy and youthful-looking complexion.

Another benefit of Snow Algae is its ability to protect the skin from UV damage. Its high concentration of carotenoids helps to prevent damage from harmful UV rays, which can cause premature ageing and increase the risk of skin cancer. Snow Algae also helps to reduce inflammation and redness, making it a great ingredient for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
