After establishing herself as a highly respected and charismatic "reader model" (a person chosen to be a model for the magazine cover from among its readers) and appearing on covers of many magazines, she also produced various products related to fashion and beauty. Here is a brown algae extract (the most common type, about 59% of macroalgae), also just called Algae Extract on the product label that is simply claimed to be a free radical scavenger, aka antioxidant. These were just three random examples from three manufacturers all called Algae extract even though they all come from different algae with different claims. But amazing Asian makeup products are not new. For years, Japanese cosmetics have been at the forefront of the industry and have delivered some amazing results. And drugstore-level Japanese cosmetics (like the stuff you’d find in Matsumoto Kiyoshi or Daikoku Drug, for example) are high quality.

An easy-to-formulate, commonly used, nice to have ingredient that’s also called pro-vitamin B5. As you might guess from the “pro” part, it’s a precursor to vitamin B5 (whose fancy name is pantothenic acid). Research also shows that it might be useful for wound healing as it promotes fibroblast (nice type of cells in our skin that produce skin-firming collagen) proliferation.Other than having a good safety profile and being quite gentle to the skin it has some other advantages too. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10). There is another algae extract from another manufacturer that comes from red algae (much more common, about 40% of total macroalgae worldwide) and is claimed to have not only moisturizing but also skin smoothing and densifying effects. Hold the brush vertically when applying to the outer corner of the eye and the lower eyelash to firmly apply mascara from the roots. Produced by Tsubasa Masuwaka, this eye make-up series gives you the cute but sophisticated look you've been dreaming of.

Its main job in skincare products is to moisturise the skin. It’s a humectant meaning that it can help the skin to attract water and then hold onto it. There is also research showing that panthenol can help our skin to produce more lovely lipids that are important for a strong and healthy skin barrier. If that wasn’t enough panthenol is also useful in nail and hair care products. A study shows that a nail treatment liquide with 2% panthenol could effectively get into the nail and significantly increase the hydration of it. As mentioned the shape of the brush helps push up the lash and create a really pretty curled effect which holds in place all day. I’ve mentioned in passing a few times that I’ve been going through some high-stress personally recently and this mascara has been very well tear-tested and I can confirm that it’s waterproof claims are true. If it starts to budge it’s more because it’s almost crumbling, but I find that’s only prone to happen if you go in with a second coat and it tends to be where there’s a little clump of product. One coat holds in place perfectly until I’m ready to hit it with a cleanser. Our Promise: Kiyoko Beauty guarantees 100% authenticity of all our products and is a trusted partner for Asian Beauty brands.I’m wearing full faces of makeup so infrequently at the moment but put on mascara probably 3-4 days a week. When I have a full face of makeup on I often forget I have it on as it’s happening so infrequently and have gone to bed on more than one occasion with makeup still on. This holds up all the way through and has been on my lashes for a full 24 hours and STILL – LOOKED – GOOD. Incredible. Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this brand before, I’m intrigued if so. And what your current favourite mascara is and whether I need to give it a whirl! If you use an eyelash curler after the mascara dries completely, you can get more beautiful finish. So, Algae Extract can be anything from La Mer's " Miracle Broth" to a simple brownalgaeextract that helps to smooth the hair. The official descriptionin the Europiean Cosmetic Ingredientlisting is this: "an extract of various species of Algae; Extract of the Seaweed, Fucus vesiculosus, Furaceae". Its official functions include being a humectant (helps skin to attract water), emollient (makes skin feel smooth and nice) and skin conditioner(a catchall phrase for saying it does something good for the skin).
