CHLORELLA VULGARIS EXTRACT

Use

chlorella vulgaris extract is an algae extract that helps protect and improve the condition of the skin. It is thought to have strong anti-oxidant properties. It may be used in skin care preparations to enhance skin smoothness and prevent collagen and elastin degradation. Certain studies also indicate an ability to increase skin firmness. Among its constituents are carotenoids, amino acids (including lysine, proline, glycine, and alanine), and vitamin B12. It would likely be most beneficial in anti-aging and skinprotecting formulations. Manufacturers of this ingredient list it as appropriate for use in products designed to protect, restructure, firm, tone, and invigorate the skin, as well as in anti-wrinkle and anti-stretch mark preparations. It is extracted from the chlorella vulgaris algae.
