Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of Algcia® from Swedish Algae Factory.
A unique, naturally derived cosmetic ingredient made from the silica-rich shells of microscopic marine diatoms, cultivated by Swedish Algae Factory. Its highly porous structure delivers a range of valuable performance properties, including oil and water absorption, sebum control and a smooth, mattifying skin feel.
This makes Algica® an exciting ingredient for formulations targeting shine control, skin texture and improved sensory performance. Ideal for face creams, serums, masks, cleansers, sunscreens, after-sun and powder formulations.
Beyond its formulation benefits, Algica® has a compelling circular and resource-conscious origin, transforming diatom biomass into a valuable cosmetic ingredient.
