What is Algae? Why I chose Algallure




Algae are recognized for multiple skincare benefits, making them the new hero ingredient popping up in beauty products. As ocean lovers making marine based formulas, we're all about using the little green/red stuff.. 
Ascophyllum, blader wrack, serrated wrack, aonori and nori are just a few of the many enigmatic names of algae, not only essential to a healthy marine ecosystem but also really good for our skin and hair.
WHAT ARE THEY?
Algae defines a diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Scientists still have incomplete knowledge of how many different species of algae exist. Numbers range from ca. 75,000 up to 400,000 – coloured from red to green or brown, in micro size or up to 60 meters of length. Only around 160 species are used for industrial purpose. Algae live mainly in oceans and fresh-water environments. With the recent resurgence of awareness brought by World Oceans Day on the 8th of June, it is imperative to pinpoint the pivotal role of algae in the marine ecosystem and its numerous virtues.
WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
Algae have a broad range of applications; they are well known for their use in the food industry – particularly in Asian specialties, sushi and agar, a vegetarian jelly powder for desserts. Chlorella is popular for its detoxing effects and is mainly used as a nutrition supplement. Algae have also been used since the 16th century as a fertiliser and soil conditioner in agriculture( AlgEternal Technologies, LLC). These aquatic plants are also used in bio-plastics, natural pigments and bio-fuels.
WHAT ARE THEIR BENEFITS?
Algae are rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. One of the primary benefits of algae is skin protection, not only against sun produced UV radiation, but also against microwaves, blue light from computers and other invisible dangers.
In terms of antioxidants, the Haematococcus Pluvialis algae produces astaxanthin, which is proven to be 6,000 times more powerful than vitamin C, 770 times stronger than Q10 or 100 times more powerful than vitamin E. As a component in beauty products, the Haematococcus Pluvialis alga is primarily used for anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory applications.
Algae also have an incredible nutritional effect on the skin and hair; Ascophyllum Nodusum has slimming, regenerative and soothing properties while the multifunctional Enteromorpha Compressa algae is used for its magnesium, phosphorus and zinc.
Algallure Skin Care uses extensively red microalgae and their versatile power in their skincare products. The products are sustainably produced, created from marine actives that are grown and harvested in their lab in La Grange, Texas. Go TEXAS!!!
Because of their numerous benefits and vast range of applications, researchers aim to extend the use of algae in antibiotics, antivirals, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular protectors as well as antineoplastic agents.
In that note, my research has told me this is a beneficial substance to intake and to use topically. I do use spurilina, blue algae and my skincare made with (micro red algae) PhycoDerm ® is the key ingredient in Algallure's prestige AlgaRiche™ skin care line.  PhycoDerm ®, the clinically tested primary extract from their richly superior culture of marine red microalgae, when scientifically tested, exhibited significant skin rejuvenating, antioxidant, and age defying properties.I am in love with this skincare. I have written extensive research on the ingredients they have in the AlgaRiche™ line. The results are amazing. So amazing that I stand behind them as a ambassador and I have my husband using the products too.
I am passionate about REAL healthy skincare. I have been testing and reviewing skincare products for over 7 years. I have been in the beauty industry for over 18 years. I want to find what really works. The ingredients you need to see results. I still test out products to see if they measure what they claim. I find myself using this line with my tested products. And as my skincare when I am not. It truly is the best I have EVER used. 
Love the skin your in!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
