PHYCOCORAIL™

PHYCOCORAIL™, the Bioceramic thermic shield, comes from a red algae characterized by calcium deposits on the cell walls. This results in a fine, absorbent powder, thus providing DNA protection and Infrared filtration. The powder, 100 µm in size, also acts as a sensorial ingredient, providing a matte & dry effect.

Product Background

PHYCOCORAIL™ comes from “Coralline”, red algae with one recognized family called Corallinacea & characterized by the impregnation of cell walls with calcite (a form of calcium carbonates), which causes the thallus to be stony or brittle.

The ecosystem in which coralline algae are most important is the coral reef, where they are primary producers, adding carbon to the ecosystem, adding new materials to the reefs and cementing together other calcareous organisms.
