Padina Pavonica Ferment
Padina Pavonica Ferment is a biotechnologically processed extract from a beautiful brown seaweed found in the Mediterranean. Often called the ‘sea plant stem cell’ in skincare, it helps support the skin’s natural barrier and moisture levels, leaving it feeling smoother and more resilient.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Padina Pavonica Ferment is used as a gentle yet powerful marine active that reinforces the skin’s extracellular matrix. Through a unique fermentation process, its polysaccharides become highly bioavailable, helping to improve skin cohesion, support natural collagen and hyaluronic acid levels, and protect against environmental stressors while delivering a silky, non-sticky feel.

Where it comes from
Padina Pavonica is a brown macroalga (seaweed) naturally harvested from the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The ferment used in cosmetics is produced by carefully fermenting the seaweed to concentrate its beneficial polysaccharides.
