An OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan cream has been clinically proven to reduce erythema (redness) by up to 96%, whilst soothing, nourishing and hydrating the skin, leading to a clearer, more radiant complexion. OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan has been specifically developed for inclusion in skincare and sun care formulations to restore, calm and protect the skin.
Redness Reduction Clinical Results
- 96% reduction of chemical-induced redness (erythema) at day 11 using restorative cream incorporating OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan, compared to non-treated skin (60%).
- 92% reduction of UV-induced redness (erythema) at day 11 using restorative cream incorporating OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan, compared to non-treated skin (50%).
- Reduces redness over 2.5x faster than non-treated UV-damaged skin.
These results offer a breakthrough solution for targeting redness-prone skin, irritated skin, acne, and rosacea as well as for individuals seeking advanced and sustainable skin care remedies to integrate as part of their daily routine.
Other Key Benefits (in vitro testing)
- Enhances the skin barrier – in vitro testing conducted by Danish Technical University (DTU) has shown that OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan significantly restores and enhances the skin barrier by 400% (increase in K10 expression) to protect the skin from external stressors and future irritation.
- Inhibits elastase activity – in vitro tests show that OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan inhibits elastase activity by up to 77% which may reduce skin damage for healthy
aging. This is significantly higher than quercetin (50%), a very potent flavonoid, at an equivalent dose. - High antioxidant activity – plant polyphenols possess anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant properties and DNA repair activities.1 In vitro tests
demonstrated that OCEAN ACTIVES® Fucoidan has high antioxidant activity compared to leading plant-based ingredients such as goji berry and pomegranate to
protect the skin from everyday pollutants and free radicals for improved texture and radiant-looking skin.
