What It Does

CDF Wakame Algae Collagen Active™ is a refined marine firming system inspired by the resilience of Wakame algae. It is created for formulas that need subtle but noticeable improvements in firmness, smoothness, and overall skin tone without the heaviness or color often associated with traditional seaweed extracts.

This active supports the skin’s structural feel and helps maintain a more lifted, elastic look over time. It is particularly suited to formulas targeting early signs of slackness, loss of bounce, or a “tired” skin appearance, while remaining gentle enough for daily use.

Key Benefits

• Helps improve the look of firmness and elasticity for a more supported appearance.
• Contributes to smoother, more even-looking skin texture.
• Supports a “plumper” and more resilient feel over time.
• Marine-origin story that aligns well with spa, pro-aging, and “ocean care” concepts.
• Light, water-based profile that layers easily with other actives and moisturizers.
• Ideal as a core collagen-support building block in pro-aging routines.

Suggested Use Level

• 2–4% in daily face serums, toners, essences, and light lotions.
• 4–8% in targeted pro-aging serums, marine creams, and neck/décolleté products.
• 5–10% in intensive treatment products or “hero” marine active formulas.

Ideal Applications

• Marine-inspired firming serums and essences
