Plankton Extract in Skincare: Properties and Availability

Question

Could you please tell me about plankton extract, such as the one used in Bioderma products? What is this extract? Does MySkinRecipes sell it? If so, what are the properties of the plankton extract available?

Answer

Plankton Extract

Plankton extract is an ingredient derived from tiny marine organisms. These extracts are known for various benefits in skincare, often related to protecting the skin from environmental stress, boosting cell metabolism, and improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles.

MySkinRecipes does offer ingredients related to plankton. We have:

  • Plankton Artemia Extract: This extract comes from Artemia Salina and is known for its anti-pollution properties and ability to protect skin from environmental conditions. It can help increase cell metabolism and improve collagen and keratin levels in the skin.
  • Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening): This ingredient from France contains polysaccharides and is known for its immediate skin tightening and lifting effects, as well as helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Regarding Bioderma, while some of their products might contain plankton extracts, the specific types and formulations they use would be part of their product development. The plankton ingredients we offer, such as Plankton Artemia Extract and Marine Plankton, have their own specific properties and benefits as described, and are used in various cosmetic formulations by different brands.
