NORTH BERGEN, N.J.—Looking for an ingredient that can reduce wrinkle length and depth, and minimize skin roughness by about 20 percent within 30 minutes of the first application? Then according to Frutarom's research, its newest sustainable, skin-active shield ingredient—Alguard—derived from red microalgae polysaccharides may be a perfect fit.

Alguard is obtained from an environmentally friendly algae plant in the Negev desert and is collected, purified and produced in a completely natural process that exploits CO2 and releases oxygen during the growth process. Via a patented growth system, developed at Ben Gurion University, Frutarom is able to grow the algae in artificial seawater and utilize the unique desert climate to stimulate production of the protective polysaccharide. It has physical and bioactive properties that allow it to create a structured, homogenous protective mesh that adheres to skin's surface. It protects skin from oxidative stress, inflammation and irritation, and also supplies UVB radiation protection, according to the company. Alguard can be formulated in face creams or lotions, as well as acne care products, anti-aging compounds and formulas for sensitive and inflamed skin. Frutarom is GMP certified.
