Lavera Hydro Refresh
We breathe about 20,000 times a day. On average, 400 to 600 milliliters of air get into the lungs of an adult in one breath. We owe the air that we breathe to the flora. Green plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Only few people are aware that algae make up every second oxygen molecule in our atmosphere. And since algae also bind the greenhouse gas CO2, they are vital for the climate of our planet. Since algae are at the very beginning of the maritime food chain, they also ensure that the oceans are full of life. But although algae play such an important role in nature, mankind still knows very little about them. Some researchers suspect that there are over 400,000 algae species worldwide. However, only a fraction of the species have been discovered so far.
The known algae can be roughly divided into two groups: microalgae and macroalgae. Microalgae are all species that can usually only be seen under a microscope. In contrast, the macroalgae can be seen with the naked eye. Some species are only a few millimeters long, others can reach a length of over 50 meters. In East Asia, people discovered 4,000 years ago that several types of algae are edible. Today these are a typical ingredient in many regional cuisines. In China alone, almost 3 million tons of algae are served every year. Algae are also indispensable in the Japanese cuisine. After all, we owe the best-known variant of edible seaweed to it: ”Nori“ is the name of the paper-like leaves made of dried algae, with which, among other things, sushi rolls are made. Meanwhile, algae are also valued in the European cuisine as an ingredient for soups, sushi and salads. Microalgae such as ”chlorella“ and ”spirulina“, on the other hand, are more popular as dietary supplements.
Algae are more and more used in natural cosmetics as well. In skin care products, algae are used as an important means of transport for natural active ingredients. But algae are also full of high-quality nutrients from the sea. In the facial care series Hydro Refresh by Lavera, the power ingredients of the brown algae "serrated wrack" (Fucus serratus) unfold their effect. The variety has a high nutrient density and contains not only important vitamins and minerals, but also trace elements, amino acids and proteins. The combination of algae extracts with natural hyaluronic acids provides the skin with intensive moisture. The highly concentrated but light formulations are energy boosters for every skin type.
The Hydro Refresh Micellar Cleansing Water gives the skin soothing refreshment without drying it out. The micellar technology enables gentle but effective cleaning and gently removes make-up, dirt and sebum from the skin. While the Hydro Refresh Facial Care Spray refreshes the skin from the first spray pump on, the Hydro Refresh Serum fills the skin's moisture depots. The Hydro Refresh Cream Gel is quickly absorbed and has a natural freshness effect. With Lavera Hydro Refresh you can discover the secret of naturally light moisturising care.
