The Proprietary Ingredient – Alguronic Acid

Alguronic Acid® is the tradename for a never-before-seen biotechnology discovery from a team of scientists in San Francisco. Alguronic Acid is a powerful regenerative compound produced by a specific and unique strain of microalgae that functions to protect and regenerate the single-celled organism in the harshest environments and conditions on the planet.

Tested for its potential anti-aging skin benefits, Alguronic Acid demonstrated the ability to significantly increase cell regeneration and renewal as well as elastin synthesis.  Furthermore, when applied to skin tissue models, Alguronic Acid demonstrated a significant inhibition of melanin production and significant protection from UV cell damage and DNA damage.

Following the discovery of this unique compound, our scientists and engineers spent more than six years developing an advanced biotechnology process that would enable us to grow, extract, purify and stabilize this powerful ingredient.  

Alguronic Acid is the tradename for the extract exclusively found in Algenist skincare products.
