Off the Basque coast, a unique red algae (Gelidium sesquipedale) sways in the sun, tides, and currents day in, day out.
To survive, it had to create its own defenses: powerful natural shields against a harsh environment.
Marine algae have long inspired our R&D team, who’ve turned them into Laboratoires de Biarritz treasure chest of exclusive active ingredients.
In red algae, our team identified a set of unique properties with genuine benefits for the skin. Through a special extraction process and after extensive testing, a powerful active ingredient, Alga-Gorria®, was created and patented by our R&D experts.
Alga-Gorria® was thus born of a unique blend of the intelligence of the natural world and science. It is a gift from the underwater world, a patented antioxidant-rich red algae extract.
Alga-Gorria® helps neutralize free radicals and helps limit the effects of oxidative stress caused by external factors like pollution, physiological stress, fatigue, smoking, and the blue light emitted by screens. This oxidative stress is a key factor in skin aging.
Our patented active ingredient has undergone in-vitro testing by an independent laboratory, confirming its strong antioxidant power.
