The first beauty product in the Alginique™ range, Morning Rose Facial Elixir, is 100% organic, consisting of all natural products, primarily phytoplankton extracts and carefully selected essential plant oils that are said to repair and rejuvenate damaged skin, giving a youthful, radiant complexion.

Phytoplankton are tiny microalgal cells that are rapidly gaining traction in the beauty industry due to their anti-aging properties. They are rich in oils and minerals which have been shown to have powerful anti-oxidant properties that help combat the effects of aging by fighting free radicals and repairing UV skin damage.

Algoid Technologies grows its own plankton using organic cultivation methods. Only distilled/deionised water and food grade fertilisers are used to prevent impurities from being inadvertently added to the culture. Live cultures are harvested and freeze-dried to ensure the plankton retain all the important properties essential for skin health and that these are not lost during processing. All other ingredients used in the formulation of Alginique™ cosmetic products are certified USDA organic.

"We have been providing microalgae to the beauty industry for some time now, and wanted to formulate our own 100% organic beauty range made from the best selection of natural ingredients. Releasing the Alginique™ brand is a major milestone for the company", said CEO, Ilya Epshteyn.

Algoid Technologies, a division of Faremax, Inc., is a microalgae producer, supplying the aquaculture, pet, biofuel and beauty industries with microalgae and microalgae products.
