Natura-Tec Marine OceanMist CL is a microalgae active, specifically nannochloropsis oceanica extract in capric/caprylic triglyceride. Nannochloropsis oceanica extract has an extremely high phytocholesterol content of over 70%. Nannochloropsis oceanica is the very first substantial source of cholesterol from microalgae.
Sterols are vital components of all eukaryotic cells. They play a structural role in cell viability, embryogenesis, cell division, chloroplast biogenesis, modulation of activity and distribution of membrane-bound proteins, etc. In the stratum corneum of the skin, cholesterol is located in the hydrophobic extracellular lipid matrix and plasma membrane of corneocytes providing the principal barrier to the transcutaneous movement of water, electrolytes or microbes.
Nannochloropsis Oceanica adds another layer of diversity to sterol biosynthesis.
Natura-Tec Marine OceanMist CL plays a major role in repairing and boosting skin barrier function thanks to the phytocholesterol action to rebuild the fundamental extracellular lamellar matrix. NT Marine OceanMist CL presents an excellent tolerance on baby skin, thanks to a biocompatible composition, perfectly suitable for delicate skin, improving health and overall condition. In addition, on dry and sensitive skin, NT Marine OceanMist CL restores a normal skin type generating a healthier skin microbiota.
An In vivo evaluation of the face skin microbiota for 14 days, with 3% of NT Marine OceanMist CL compared to the placebo formulation, on a selected panel of very dry and sensitive skin, demonstrated that NT Marine OceanMist CL has excellent microbiota-balancing and nourishing properties on dry skin, as levels of both aerobic and anaerobic microbiota are highly increased, without disturbing the individual microbiome.
NT Marine OceanMist CL induces an excellent cell viability and is considered as a non-inflammatory ingredient on baby skin. In sensitive and dry skin, NT Marine OceanMist CL counteracts negative effects of inflammatory responses, restores homeostasis, reduces skin alterations, promoting overall skin health conditions. NT Marine OceanMist CL is the ideal solution for delicate skin.
