Extracts of the algae sarcodiotheca, in particular Sarcodiotheca gaudichaudii, are described for use in cosmetic compositions. Biofermentation of sarcodiotheca, for example S. gaudichaudi, is also described. The seaweed bioferment is useful as a skin protective active ingredient for anti-aging cosmetic applications, and is particularly useful when used in combination with extracts of red algae, such as chondrhus crispus. |
