In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in increasing hydration by 26.4% in just 3 hours and in reducing inflammation. With its **natural origin and the sustainable technology** that supports its development, **SCH AlgaeTech™ Porphyridium represents an excellent option for hydrating, anti-aging and soothing products**. We are proud to offer this innovative and sustainable active to the Italian market. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information on our cosmetic active ingredients.
