An ally from fresh waters
Scenedesmus rubescens is a rare green microalga, native to freshwater lakes, that has developed a unique defense system against UV stress. Sustainably cultivated in advanced photobioreactors, it retains all the richness of its composition: amino acids, vitamins (notably B3), algal sugars, and minerals such as zinc.
Comprehensive protection against light and time
The extract derived from Scenedesmus rubescens acts as a biological shield against the harmful effects of the sun and blue light, whether natural or artificial. It:
Stimulates the skin’s natural defense against UV and blue light
Reduces the number of sunburned cells
Decreases oxidative stress and protects epidermal proteins
Promotes the synthesis of collagen III, known as the “youth collagen,” by up to +34%
Proven results
In vitro and ex vivo studies show that our active ingredient:
Inhibits tyrosinase and helps reduce blue-light-induced hyperpigmentation
Increases cell viability and collagen production
Protects fibroblasts and limits protein carbonylation
Reduces inflammation and photo-induced skin aging
