How does the algae mask work?

The mask contains alginate, which has an ‘occlusive effect’ during cosmetic treatments, i.e. it creates a ‘film’ on the skin, which results in a reduction in TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). The mask also opens the pores of the skin and helps the pre-applied active ingredients to penetrate.

Alginate is a powder-like substance with high porosity, obtained from the cell wall of an alga. During treatment, the powder is mixed with water at a temperature of less than 36 degrees Celsius. Mixed with warmer water it would solidify too quickly. A suspension with the consistency of thick cream is formed, which is applied to the face, neck or décolleté, bust. After a few minutes, the suspension thickens so that it can be pulled off as one ‘rubbery’ patch.

Often, a concentrate or cocktail with active ingredients is also applied under the algae mask.
