Lady Purple

Lady Purple is an exceptional cosmetic ingredient that brings radiance and hydration from the depths of the sea to your skin.

The origin of this ingredient is entirely natural: it is an extract obtained from the red microalga Porphyridium cruentum. This organism is specially cultivated in natural sunlight to preserve the full potential of its bioactive compounds. The ingredient contains high levels of polysaccharides, vitamins and unique pigments, such as phycoerythrin, which are key to its effectiveness on the skin. It is an ideal example of how modern cosmetics can harness the power of the ocean without synthetic additives.

The mechanism of action of Lady Purple is based on several important processes. Primarily, it hydrates the skin and restores its protective barrier, while acting as a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals. The ingredient also soothes sensitive areas and supports regeneration. Studies suggest that the extract acts similarly to hydrating hyaluronic acid, often even surpassing it in its ability to improve skin firmness.

The skin types best suited to Lady Purple include dry, dehydrated and mature skin in need of immediate hydration and firming. However, it is equally effective for sensitive skin, as its soothing properties reduce redness. We also recommend it for those who want visibly younger-looking, firmer skin without heavy textures.

Its effectiveness is supported by a double-blind clinical study published in a specialist journal. In the double-blind clinical study, with a placebo and hyaluronic acid as reference controls, Porphyridium extract provided significant benefits for skin hydration, firmness and radiance, overall matching or even exceeding the hyaluronic acid benchmark (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020). This study clearly confirmed that the extract increases collagen and hyaluronic acid production, improving firmness and reducing wrinkles.
