- Composition
Fibers, also named polysaccharides, are one of the main components of Dulse : more than 30 % of alga weight. Polysaccharides are commonly used in cosmetic products and the most widely known is the hyaluronic acid. Molecular structure of algae polysaccharide is really similar to hyaluronic acid. Polysaccharides' specific feature is to retain water in skin tissues and to fill up wrinkles and fine lines as a collagen substitute. Polysaccharides are well known for stimulating skin hydration, and they also have a good tensing effect. Dulse also contains beta carotene molecules which are well known for their anti oxidant properties. Beta carotene molecules hinder the formation of free radicals which are responsible for the cell aging process.
