What Is Chlorella Vulgaris Extract?
Chlorella vulgaris extract is an algae-derived ingredient that offers soothing and hydrating properties for skin. It is rich in antioxidant compounds that help defend skin from environmental stressors. This ingredient has been shown to have a positive effect on returning compromised skin back to a healthier state.
Studies indicate Chlorella vulgaris extract may also have a positive effect on preserving skin’s collagen, making this a welcome addition to formulations designed to preserve youthful skin.
Similar to other antioxidants, Chlorella vulgaris extract is more stable in skin care products that are packaged in a way that limits exposure to the elements. (Example: opaque, pump bottle instead of a clear jar).
