The Laminaria Alga

The Laminaria alga (Saccharina latissima) is one of the oldest living creatures in the world, and not without reason: the Laminaria alga, which lives in our North Sea and Baltic Sea, stores highly concentrated minerals and trace elements and forms a kind of protective shield against all harmful influences - such as UV radiation. It can also bind moisture extremely well - otherwise it would dry out at low tide. We use all these abilities for our products, because the Laminaria extracts are not only particularly pure, they are also refined very gently so that the effect can unfold optimally:

• As a radical scavenger - for cell renewal
• Antibacterial and stimulating - for a clear complexion
• As a provider of energy and moisture - for firm skin
• As a motor for the metabolism - vitalising and purifying

Laminaria algae are therefore the best ally against the ageing process of your skin. And also against cellulite.

By the way, Oceanwell contains between 5 and 10% laminaria extract, which is significantly higher than comparable products. In addition, there is a very high proportion of seawater, e.g. up to 50% in the Ocean Tonic, which ensures an optimal supply of trace elements and minerals.

The best thing about it: thanks to the sustainable cultivation of the Laminaria algae right here on the Baltic Sea coast off Kiel, we also protect the environment through short transport routes. And the sea anyway.

Mode of action

The trace elements from the Laminaria algae - especially the iodide - stimulate the metabolism, which is noticeable on the skin by a - sometimes visible - good blood circulation and is a positive sign for the effectiveness of your Oceanwell product. This activation may cause some reddening of the skin. These are only short-lived and have absolutely nothing to do with an allergic reaction - otherwise a strong itching would occur and pustules would form on the treated skin area. The small reddening of the skin that may occur is only a sign that the blood circulation and thus the metabolism are stimulated - or in other words: the product unfolds its effect. The stimulated blood circulation brings new oxygen into the skin, waste products are more easily removed and skin regeneration improves. The nutrient depots of the often depleted cells are replenished and the skin's own protective mechanisms are strengthened - also in rosacea and couperose.

By strengthening the cell membranes and binding moisture at the same time, the overall appearance of the skin is sustainably improved. In other words, your complexion glows and you look refreshed, fresh and relaxed.

• We only use fresh seawater from the Baltic Sea and no sea salt solutions.
• Cross-flow filtration with 0.2 µ filter size removes even nanoparticles and possibly bacteria from the water.
• Sea water has been scientifically proven to have soothing effects, e.g. on psoriasis and neurodermatitis.

Oceanic collagen.

The professional for wrinkles

Basically we know: Collagen, a protein, keeps connective tissue & co. elastic - but as we age, the body produces less and less of it. Conventional collagen is extracted from fish or bovine planzenta - which not only entails risks in terms of allergies, it is also not as "biocompatible" as Oceanwell's oceanic collagen.

Why?

The jellyfish from which we extract the collagen are very primitive organisms, their collagen has a much less differentiated structure than that of higher organisms such as fish or cows. This allows your skin to benefit much more from the benefits of collagen: It forms a "micro-fleece", a kind of protective shield on the skin, reduces the so-called transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and also binds an extraordinary amount of moisture. The gentle swelling of the upper skin layers also tightens wide-open pores.

The complexion appears finer and clearer. In addition, this microfilm fills in wrinkles. And since wrinkles are the result of a massive loss of moisture, the lasting preservation of moisture also results in fewer new wrinkles. Furthermore, the minerals and trace elements derived from the sea remineralise depleted skin cells, thereby restoring radiance to the complexion.

The jellyfish we use for OceanCollagen are so-called root mouth jellyfish (Scyphozoa). They consist of 98% seawater. Their water-binding collagen structures bind this high water content - which gives the jellyfish its elastic shape. Due to our gentle processing, the triple-twisted helical structure remains undamaged ("native") and thus retains its flexibility.

With the unique formulation of the OceanCollagen products, the collagen protective film can develop its moisturising effect optimally and in the long term - in principle like a depot in which the other marine ingredients (minerals, trace elements) can also have an optimal effect.

About 1 jellyfish is needed to produce 1 litre of our collagen. From which about 400 cream dispensers of 30 ml each can be produced. Thus, the demand for jellyfish is at a very low level. But what is particularly nice is that we have something to counteract the jellyfish bloom or "jellification of the seas".

Because due to climate change, the number of jellyfish in the sea is increasing, in some cases dramatically, which in turn is decimating fish stocks even more than they already are. So it's a pretty good combination of skin care and marine protection. Isn't it?

The ingredients are listed on cosmetic packaging as INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients). In the article "Was bedeuten die INCI auf den Kosmetikprodukten?" (German) you can find more information about Oceanwell's ingredients. We have also published separate articles on individual raw materials.
