Algae are a natural cosmetic additive valued for their high vitamin and mineral content. Seaweeds derive their abundance of valuable ingredients from the process of extracting elements from the surrounding water. Different species of algae, however, may differ in the content of individual minerals, so it is worth knowing these differences in order to choose the best care for your skin.
Almond acid is a fruit acid originating from bitter almonds. It belongs to the group of AHA acids with brightening, moisturising and regenerating effects. Almond acid has relatively large molecules, thanks to which it penetrates the skin slightly slower than other fruit acids. As a result, it has a gentler effect and is considered safe even for sensitive skin.
