Alginate masks are universal, suitable for everyone, do not cause allergies.
They moisturize, tighten the contours of the face, relieve irritation, cleanse the pores, reduce wrinkles, refresh the complexion ...
These masks are based on alginic acid, which is extracted from red and brown algae, and its salts. It has a hygroscopic property, that is, it is able to absorb a large amount of water and moisturize the skin while pulling out harmful substances. Stimulates the protective properties of the skin, retains moisture. Sodium alginate is mixed with water and turns into a gel rich in vitamins, minerals (this consistency makes it possible to reach the most hard-to-reach wrinkles and folds, nourishing and moisturizing the skin). Alginate salts contribute to the rapid hardening of the mask and make it elastic on the face.
Another major element of the mask is diatomite (rock, composed of algae residues), which is known for its unique adsorbing properties.
