Algenist:

Turning “algae” into the best thing that’s ever touched your face.

Here's the story

While the industry was busy recycling the same buzzwords, we discovered a microscopic powerhouse hiding in plain sight.

From that discovery came Alguronic Acid® —our patented ingredient that makes skin look firmer, smoother, and better in just 10 days.

Who discovered Alguronic Acid?

After years of research into microalgae as a renewable energy source, our biotechnology scientists unexpectedly discovered a powerful protective and regenerative compound with incredible anti-aging properties known as Alguronic Acid.

How was Alguronic Acid discovered?

Alguronic Acid was unexpectedly discovered by a team of scientists at a San Francisco based biotechnology company focused on the development of renewable energy solutions from microalgae. While researching thousands of microalgae strains, the biotechnology scientists identified a protective and regenerative polysaccharide compound produced by certain strains of microalgae that, when isolated and tested, showed significant anti-aging properties.

Why Algae?

Because algae is built different. It survives and thrives in the hardest environments on Earth—

Think blazing sun, freezing temps, crashing tides. The resilience that keeps it alive is the same resilience it delivers to your skin.

Algae - they're everywhere. The most nutrient-rich plants and the source of 71% of our oxygen. But only 1 kind of algae produces a potent compound that protects its cells - so it can survive, thrive, and regenerate.

And no on else has unlocked this powerful compound of algae - except for Algenist.
