The power of seaweed: advanced marine technology

Agrimer demonstrates NaDES marine technology and its benefits for innovation in cosmetics today.

ABSTRACT

Marine ingredients are emerging as essential pillars of tomorrow’s cosmetics. Backed by the extraordinary biological richness of the oceans, they offer natural, effective, and sustainable solutions to key skin concerns. Among them, seaweed stands out for their remarkable ability to adapt to extreme environments. Their adaptation mechanisms include specific intracellular fluids and an exceptional diversity of metabolites. Seaweed concentrate a powerful arsenal of high potential molecules for innovative, effective, and sustainable skin care. In this article, we take a deep dive into this living resource, drawing on insights from a five-year academic research program. These investigations led to the development of the biomimicry-inspired and patented NaDES marine technology, a combination of natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) applied to seaweed. NaDES reproduce the characteristics of the seaweed intracellular fluids, allowing the selective isolation of key compounds while preserving their native structure. This article aims to demonstrate the NaDES marine technology, and its benefits for innovation in cosmetics today, notably regarding the production of a new generation of actives: high-performance, sustainable, inspired by nature and paving the way for a more responsible future in skin care

With consumers increasingly turning to natural and eco-friendly solutions, marine ingredients are set to become a key component of tomorrow's cosmetics.
