Our Ingredients
Clean, Safe, Effective, 100% Vegan Formulations
We are born from an ingredient-level innovation with the discovery of our hero ingredient, Alguronic Acid from algae - naturally-sourced and sustainably-produced through biotechnology, the innovative green science that respects nature.
We believe that ingredient sourcing matters. We rely on traceable sources of natural, botanical ingredients to sustainably produce ingredients that are clean, safe, vegan and highly efficacious, without straining the natural environment. Through biotechnology, we are able to manage the production process to ensure consistency in the efficacy and results of all our ingredients.
Ingredientaholic™
We at Algenist, along with our community, are true Ingredientaholics™. That means we are completely ingredient-obsessed, and on an endless pursuit to research, source and produce the cleanest, safest, highest quality, vegan and most efficacious ingredients, combining them to create science-backed and results-driven skincare formulas. We rely on our own ingredient innovations as well as gold-standard ingredients to formulate products that provide visible skin transformation in just 10 days. We believe that what we put on the outside of our bodies is just as important as what we put inside, so ingredients - all the way from sourcing to production to use - are kept top of mind. We strive for the best, to provide the best - for everyone.
Ingredients Matter
Our products are formulated to safely deliver on efficacy. We only use clean, high-quality ingredients that follow strict global regulatory guidelines. We meet EU formulation standards, which require a rigorous review process and proof of safety of formulas and ingredients.
