Red Microalgae Cosmetic Ingredient Protects Skin

Results of a new clinical study show that Alguard, an all-natural cosmetic ingredient developed by Frutarom Ltd, provides immediate beauty enhancement when applied to the skin.

Alguard is known for its ability to provide long-term protection to skin, but this study is the first to demonstrate it can also offer skin enhancement immediately after the first usage. Following the encouraging results Frutarom has released a preservative free eco-certified version of Alguard.

In this study, by the Israeli Skin Research Institute, 10 women applied a small amount of Alguard on half of their faces compared to a control cream on the other half and were monitored for one hour in a controlled environment. A clear reduction in fine-line length and depth, as well as a 24% average reduction in skin roughness were observed.

Alguard is derived from a polysaccharide surrounding red microalgae adapted to the extreme conditions of the ocean tidal zone. This polysaccharide is the survival secret of the red microalgae. It forms a protective layer, shielding the algae from harsh elements. Alguard forms a similar protective layer, or ‘active shield,’ when applied to the skin.

Alguard is produced by an all-natural physical purification process and is standardized according to its polysaccharide content. For further information: www.frutarom.com
