Advanced Solutions MariMoist® (R10041) is a sustainable marine biopolymer derived from Chondrus crispus aquatic plants with bio-derived high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan that is an important natural component of skin. Referred to as the “aloe of the ocean,” MariMoist® is a water-soluble, viscous, hydrocolloid-flowing gel with the highest standards of consistency, quality, and purity.   MariMoist® provides water delivery and a unique textural sensation, improving the aesthetic and tactile properties of finished products while helping to build “body” and impart a rich, luxurious feel. MariMoist® has been demonstrated to bind and deliver water for optimal hydration of the skin, scalp, and hair. Acting as a humectant, MariMoist® is an emollient liquid that instantly moisturizes and softens dry skin.   Applications for MariMoist® include an emollient and hydrator in skin and hair products and a formulation aid or aesthetic modifier of product viscosity and body. MariMoist® is an excellent base for formulations.
