A treasure from the sea and its shores... Did you know that algae and marine plants contain infinite riches? They are known for their moisturizing and anti-oxidizing qualities, making them particularly precious for the cosmetics industry. Heading to the northern coast of Brittany, near Bréhat (France). The archipelago is a true "underwater Amazon”, home to outstanding marine life, including over 800 species of algae and hundreds of species of halophyte plants.

Many things remain to be discovered in the marine world and to be used in the cosmetics market. I find it fascinating to seek out new molecules in these biodiversity treasure troves with a view to providing our customers with original active ingredients.
