SEA

                   

Microalgae, the genesis of life.

Millions of years ago, a group of unique organisms transformed our planet and made it viable for human life. Through photosynthesis, they were able to convert sun energy and CO2 into organic matter and oxygen. Microalgae created the air that we breathe today and established the foundations for superior life. It was that simple and yet so essential.

Microalgae: Skin of the Sea

Microalgae are ultimately the foundation of marine life. They thrive under incredibly challenging conditions by developing survival mechanisms. The fortification they undergo is extracted and delivered to your skin to do the same in fortifying and protecting your skin’s biology and longevity. Our products’ biotechnology guarantees the consistent expression and isolation of pure defense and repair mechanisms.

Benefits of Marine Algae

Marine algae is full of diversity, and they are generally divided into four groups, arranged by color: brown, red, green, and blue-green. Because they live off of seawater’s life-giving properties, seaweeds and marine algae are high in trace elements like copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. They are also rich in vitamins including A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, C, D, E, and K.

Additional benefits vary from species to species, but they are plentiful. Marine algae does the following: moisturizes, promotes the strengthening of skin tissue, promotes elastin and collagen production, and balances the moisture barrier in skin cells so tissues remain hydrated. Marine algae are also renowned for their natural ingredients providing powerful antioxidant protection for your skin.

Evoq’s Sea and Marine Actives

The sea is a source of life, health, and beauty. It’s abundant in natural beautifiers like magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, iodine, and zinc, and the chemistry of its mineral water is essentially identical to that of the human body. Amino acids, antioxidants, enzymes, and phytohormones from seaweed and marine actives are powerful sources of nourishment that can be absorbed through the skin.

Our food-grade, wild, organic sea ingredients are sustainably hand-harvested in small batches to assure purity and potency, and to provide all the essentials your skin and hair need to flourish beautifully.

Stem Cells Multitasking Powers

Unlike other cells that have specialized and specific purposes, stem cells are multipurpose and full of potential. They can transform into various type of cells, and they divide almost limitlessly to replace and repair damaged cells. The new cells created do the job of the cells near which they reside. This means that stem cells can generate new skin cells to replace the damaged and old skin cells, giving you a youthful appearance and new, healthy cells.

Stem Cells as a Source of Youth

Your skin contains stem cells, and deep within your epidermis, stem cells divide to replace lost or dying cells. There is potential for stem cells to treat skin conditions like wrinkles, sun damage, and visible capillaries. Your skin is in a constant state of renewal, and it needs non-stop cell replacement. As we age, it’s vital that we optimize epidermal stem cell population.

Daily attacks on your skin from the environment, sun, and diet makes it hard for stem cells to keep up with demand, which leads to aged and damaged skin. Fortunately, scientists have turned to plants for their stem cells, and they have been found effective in supporting your skin’s natural stem cells in increasing cellular turnover.

Oxygenation Benefits of Essential Oils

Essential Oils contain oxygenating molecules which drive nutrients straight to your cells, inhibit bacterial growth, repair free radical damage, and help balance hormones. Without oxygen, cells can’t function properly and nutrients cannot be absorbed, leaving us nutritionally depleted. Cell-to-cell communication is enhanced, and your unique biology functions optimally while toxins are released into an oxygen-rich environment. This environment helps increase antibodies, endorphins, and neurotransmitters.

While essential oils don’t accumulate in your body, their effect is cumulative. Their positive effects can last up to five months, and they work where they are needed most in your body.
