Algenist FAQs & Answers
1. What is alguronic acid? Alguronic acid is a group of complex polysaccharides, produced by specific strains of microalgae that function to protect and regenerate the microalgae cell. Algenist's team developed a highly advanced process that allows us to grow microalgae and extract the highly functional alguronic acid compound.
2. How was alguronic acid discovered? Alguronic acid was unexpectedly discovered by a team of scientists at a San Francisco based biotechnology laboratory focused on the development of renewable energy solutions from microalgae. While researching thousands of microalgae strains, the biotechnology scientists identified a protective and regenerative polysaccharide compound produced by certain strains of microalgae that, when isolated and tested, showed significant anti-aging properties.
3. What are the major anti-aging functions/benefits of alguronic acid? Alguronic acid is a purified microalgae exopolysaccharide extract. Alguronic acid’s major anti-aging benefits for the skin are the same as those provided to microalgae cells by these powerful polysaccharide compounds – protection and regeneration. Just as it gives microalgae cells the ability to protect and regenerate themselves in harsh environmental conditions, alguronic acid has also proven to provide these amazing benefits to skin.
4. What is the difference between alguronic acid and blue/green/red algae? Algae are a large and diverse group of generally multicellular organisms, the largest and most well known of which is seaweed. Blue, green, and red algae all fall into this category. Alguronic acid is not algae at all, rather a compound that is naturally produced by microalgae—amazing, single cell organisms that thrive in both fresh and salt-water environments, but unlike their larger counterparts do not have roots, stems, or leaves.
Whereas other skincare products use blue, green, or red algae as a direct ingredient, Algenist products use the powerful and rare microalgae-derived compound alguronic acid. Alguronic acid is made into a highly effective anti-aging skincare ingredient via a highly refined, 5 phase, 15-step extraction and purification process.
5. Do all Algenist products contain alguronic acid? Yes, all Algenist products use alguronic acid along with other bioactive anti-aging ingredients.
6. Is alguronic acid the only active ingredient in Algenist products? No, Algenist products are advanced formulas that combine alguronic acid with other effective bioactive anti-aging ingredients like a powerful tetra-peptide, vitamins, and extracts from algae, fruits, and plants.
7. How long will it take to see results from using Algenist products? Women in a third party consumer study reported significant skin improvement in as little as 10 days. Within just 4 weeks of daily treatment, Algenist products significantly regenerate skin’s appearance, reduce wrinkle size, and increase firmness and elasticity.
8. What skin types were Algenist products formulated for? Algenist products provide highly effective anti-aging results for all skin types.
9. Are Algenist products noncomedogenic? Yes, all Algenist products are formulated to be noncomedogenic. When clinically tested by third party laboratories all four Algenist products proved to be non-comedogenic.
10. Are Algenist products hypoallergenic? Yes, all Algenist products were safety and allergy tested and zero irritation or sensitivity was observed or reported.
11. Are Algenist products paraben-free? Yes, all Algenist products are formulated without parabens. Additionally, Algenist products do not contain sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMOs, or Triclosan.
