Dermochlorella D

This is an extract of the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris, which is very rich in amino acids and oligopeptides. These components stimulate collagen production and support skin regeneration. The alga is a natural source of vitamin C, proteins, omega fatty acids and iron, making it valuable for nourishing cells. It is produced using a biotechnological process that preserves the bioavailability of the active ingredients and ensures high purity. This organic extract is certified to Ecocert standards, confirming its organic origin and safety for use in natural cosmetics.

Its mechanism of action involves stimulating collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and firmness. It has powerful antioxidant effects that protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It reduces redness and irritation by soothing inflammatory processes. It supports skin barrier repair and increases hydration at a cellular level. The recommended concentration in cosmetic formulations is 1-3 % for optimal results without irritation.

Ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin, where it helps address loss of elasticity and wrinkles. It is also recommended for skin prone to redness or rosacea, or following intensive treatments such as peels. It is not suitable for very oily, acne-prone skin due to the potential for nutrient build-up. It is particularly suitable for serums, face creams and eye creams for long-term prevention of skin ageing. Combine with hyaluronate for a synergistic hydrating effect.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science (2018) showed that Chlorella vulgaris extract at a concentration of 2 % increased collagen synthesis by 28 % and reduced the expression of MMP-1 (an enzyme that breaks down collagen) by 35 % in human fibroblasts after 14 days ex vivo. Further research in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2021) confirmed antioxidant activity, with ROS inhibition of 42 % at a concentration of 1,5 % in a human keratinocyte model.
