When we talk about skin health, we often look to the surface hydration, texture, radiance. But the truth is, long-term skin resilience comes from supporting the deeper cellular processes that keep our largest organ functioning at its best. That’s exactly why encapsulated green algae has become one of the hero ingredients in our new NightShield Complex night cream.
This advanced botanical delivers targeted nourishment, antioxidant strength and skin-revitalising benefits while aligning with our commitment to clean, natural and sustainable skincare.
Why Encapsulation Matters
Green algae is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. But when it’s encapsulated, its potency is protected and delivered more effectively into the skin. Encapsulation also supports stability, slow release and enhanced absorption—meaning your skin receives consistent nourishment as you sleep, when repair processes peak.
Key Skin Benefits of Encapsulated Green Algae
1. Deep Hydration & Moisture Retention
Green algae helps reinforce the skin’s moisture reserves by supporting natural hydration pathways. This helps soften dryness, improve elasticity and leave the skin feeling plump and replenished.
2. Strengthens the Skin Barrier
This ingredient supports the skin’s outer barrier—the protective layer that helps keep irritants out and hydration in. By boosting barrier resilience, algae can help reduce sensitivity, redness and environmental stress.
3. Antioxidant Protection Against Premature Ageing
Green algae is naturally rich in antioxidant compounds that help protect skin cells from free-radical damage caused by UV exposure, pollution and daily stressors. This supports firmer, healthier-looking skin over time.
4. Supports Cellular Repair & Renewal
As we sleep, our skin moves into repair mode. Algae’s nutrient profile helps support cellular turnover, restore vitality and encourage smoother, more radiant skin by morning.
5. Brightening & Pigment-Balancing Benefits
Its natural compounds help improve skin tone uniformity, soften the look of dark spots and promote a clearer, brighter complexion.
Clean, Vegan, Sustainable: Why Our Green Algae Source Matters
At Fresh Face Skin, ingredient integrity is just as important as results. Our encapsulated green algae is 100% vegan, natural and sustainably sourced, meeting globally recognised certifications that reinforce traceability and environmental responsibility.
ECOCERT COSMOS Certified
This international standard is one of the most trusted in natural and organic cosmetics. When an ingredient carries this certification, it means:
- It’s sourced naturally or organically
- It’s produced ethically and sustainably
- It contains no GMOs, parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrance or harmful chemicals
- Manufacturing follows strict environmental guidelines
In simple terms, ECOCERT COSMOS helps ensure the algae in NightShield Complex is clean, safe, pure, and aligned with high environmental standards.
RSPO Certified
Many skincare emulsifiers contain palm derivatives. RSPO certification guarantees that, if palm is used within any supporting ingredient, it comes from sustainable, ethical and responsibly managed sources.
RSPO certification supports:
- No contribution to deforestation
- Fair labour practices and ethical farming
- Reduced environmental impact
- Protection of biodiversity
These certifications reflect a supply chain that respects nature while delivering high-performing, skin-loving results.
