Laminaria saccharina extract

Laminaria saccharina extract (CAS 90046-14-3), derived from the brown seaweed species commonly known as sugar kelp, delivers concentrated marine bioactives including polysaccharides, minerals, and amino acids.

It functions primarily as a humectant, skin-conditioning agent, and antioxidant stabilizer in finished products for use across cosmetic, nutritional, and pharmaceutical formulations.

In skincare and haircare formulations, it supports moisture retention and helps protect against oxidative stress, making it a functional active in serums, creams, and scalp treatments.

Nutraceutical and functional food manufacturers incorporate it as a natural source of iodine, trace minerals, and bioactive polysaccharides in supplement blends and fortified products.

Pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical developers use it in topical preparations where marine-derived antioxidants are required to stabilize sensitive active ingredients in various systems.

It also appears in professional spa and body treatment products where concentrated seaweed actives are the primary commercial claim for high-end therapeutic and aesthetic applications.

Laminaria saccharina extract is supplied as a liquid extract, powder, or spray-dried form depending on the intended application and processing requirements for the final product.

Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available. Buyers should confirm solvent system, carrier, and standardization parameters directly with their suppliers.
