AlgaSurge™
The ocean’s secret for natural plumpness and dewiness
Everyone desires youthful, healthy, and vibrant skin. While hyaluronic acid (HA) is the gold standard for achieving this look, new technologies such as PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotides) have also shown promising results. Both come with drawbacks: high cost, short-lived results, and sustainability concerns.
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant is introducing AlgaSurge™, the game-changing alternative. Derived from microalgae through advanced blue biotechnology, this highly purified sulfated polysaccharide (SP) hydrogel biomimics HA's benefits and also serves as a botanical source of PDRN without the limitations.
Mimics HA action, reinforce ECM, and restores lost autophagy for enhanced skin longevity
Dual-action mechanism:
- high molecular weight sulfated polysaccharides fractions form a protective film
- low molecular weight components (polysaccharides and PDRN) penetrate deeper to lock in moisture and rejuvenate skin cellsSkin reinforcement: +26% pro-collagen I,+18% collagen III and +50% HA production
Skin longevity support: +16% restoring lost autophagy in aged fibroblast (23 years recovered!)
Soothing action: -48% IL-8 release
Long-lasting benefits: resist enzymatic degradation
Harnessing blue-biotech
AlgaSurge™ is an extract of the red microalga Porphyridium cruentum, that thrives in extreme conditions and produces specific molecules to resist dehydration.
Cultivated in bioreactors, this algae produces small and large molecular weight polysaccharides as well as PDRN, that are purified to create AlgaSurge™.AlgaSurge™ is an alternative to traditional HA mix and a source of vegan PDRN.
Clinically-proven to outperform HA mix
Tested on 90 volunteers, vs. 1% HA mix (high and low MW) or placebo, 1% AlgaSurge™ proved to deliver fast action with visible benefits after a single use and outperform HA mix after 28 days:
- Up to +34% skin radiance and dewiness
- Up to -67% wrinkle count
- Up to +57% plumpness
AlgaSurge™: new alternative to HA mix and PDRN
Blue-biotech origin & Vegan PDRN source
High & low MW sulfated polysaccharide
High stability
Fast action
Significantly visible benefits after a single use.
Fully traceable & controlled sourcing
AlgaSurge™ is obtained from red microalgae through highly controlled fermentation process, after purification and concentration of sulfated polysaccharide hydrogel to standardize the content. The process does not use solvents, only physical processes for purification and concentration.
