Padina Pavonica Extract
Padina Pavonica Extract is a seaweed-derived ingredient sourced from the brown algae commonly known as Peacock’s Tail. It is prized in skincare for its ability to support the skin’s natural protective barrier and help maintain firmness and hydration. Gentle yet effective, it is increasingly found in premium moisturisers, serums and anti-ageing formulas.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics Padina Pavonica Extract works by supplying natural polysaccharides and minerals that help reinforce the skin’s extracellular matrix and support its moisture-retention capacity. The extract forms a light, breathable film on the skin’s surface while encouraging the natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen within the dermis, resulting in smoother, more supple-feeling skin with improved elasticity over time.
