French marine skincare brand Thalgo has realised a new wellbeing range called Les Essentiels Marins.
The collection has launched with a shower gel, marine scrub, exfoliating marine soap, micronised marine algae bath powder and supplement ampoules.
Available in professional and retail sizes, all are enriched with Thalgo’s patented Micronised Marine Algae formula designed to revitalise the complexion with a potent cocktail of marine minerals.
The complex was developed in 1966 by company founder, André Bouclet, and is made up of two types of brown algae – fucus vesiculosus and laminaria digitata – as well as lithothamnium calcareum red algae.
Thalgo explained that to develop the complex, Bouclet pioneered a micronisation technology that ruptures the outer algae cell walls while preserving its active ingredients. The company says this then allowed him to produce an algae powder with an unmatched concentration of micronutrients.
Thalgo’s Micronised Marine Algae complex is composed of 14 minerals and trace elements needed to replenish skin minerals, amino acids and fatty acids which help to strengthen skin tissue as well as vitamins A, B, C, E and pro D and energising sugars.
In addition, it features antioxidant carotenoids (chlorophyll and xanthophyll) and polyphenols which are claimed to help protect against free radicals.
To showcase the Les Essentiels Marins range, Thalgo has created both a 60-minute facial and 90-minute scrub and wrap body treatment. These are the two debut rituals in the brand’s new 3-Algae Marine Treatments collection.
