Exploitation
Laminaria is harvested by the company BioMolenez. It develops below low water level in areas with strong currents. Harvesting is mainly carried out by boats (seaweed harvesters) as the kelp fields are not easily accessible at low tide.
Once harvested, the seaweed is macerated and filtered to obtain an extract containing a maximum of bioactive compounds. This algae has many strips of 3 to 4 metres in length.
Mainly widespread in the cold coastal waters of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, it is less common or very rare in the coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea, its presence may be related to specific environmental factors such as sea currents, water temperatures, salinity, light, etc. It is often found in areas exposed to waves and strong currents.
Temperature tolerance: -1 to 20
Cosmetic properties
Anti-aging
Fucoxanthin, a brown carotenoid, protects the skin from UV radiation to limit ageing caused by exposure.
Moisturizing
The high alginate content promotes the hydration of the upper layers of the epidermis by capturing water.
Remineralizing
Its high mineral and oligoelements content provides the fundamental nutrients for a vital skin.
Antioxidant
Fucoidanes have a strong antioxidant power to reduce oxidative stress.
