Algaktiv® Zen is a premium cosmetic ingredient designed to help restore comfort and balance to the skin. It combines the benefits of sustainably cultivated microalgae extract, where specific microalgae are carefully cultured in controlled environments, with nourishing sunflower seed oil and protective vitamin E.
The unique microalgae are grown in purified water within closed systems, ensuring optimal purity and avoiding exposure to environmental pollutants often present in wild-harvested sources. These specific microalgae are cultured to ensure both purity and quality.
Presented as a translucent, brownish oily liquid, Algaktiv® Zen has a mild scent that is easily masked in finished skincare products.
Its smooth, lightweight texture blends seamlessly into creams, lotions, and oil-based serums.
Thanks to its skin-conditioning properties, Algaktiv® Zen is ideal for formulations targeting dryness, uneven texture, and the visible signs of skin stress. Its synergistic molecules restore skin homeostasis and assist in restoring its natural circadian rhythm, helping to protect the skin from stress-related aging.
This ingredient works particularly well in products designed to support a calm complexion, making it a valuable addition to both day and night skincare routines.
It is also suitable for sensitive, eczema-prone, and psoriasis-prone skin, making it a versatile option for a wide range of cosmetic products.
The creation of ALGAKTIV® Zen is deeply rooted in natural and sustainable production methods, ensuring that every drop delivers both efficacy and environmental responsibility. At the heart of this revolutionary dual-action ingredient is an exclusive microalgae blend, cultivated in closed containers using purified water. This controlled environment not only guarantees the purity and consistency of the plankton extract but also protects the microalgae from external contaminants, resulting in a product that is both potent and safe for all skin types.
By harnessing advanced fermentation technology, ALGAKTIV® Zen maximizes the bioavailability of synergistic molecules essential for restoring the skin’s natural circadian rhythm. This innovative process enhances the ingredient’s solubility and ensures that the active compounds can effectively respond to inner stress signals, helping to protect the skin from the visible effects of chronic stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation.
The result is a noticeable reduction in the appearance of tired and stressed skin, with a more relaxed skin appearance that helps minimise the look of early signs of aging.
Sustainability is at the core of ALGAKTIV® Zen’s philosophy. The use of GMO-free microalgae and natural sunflower oil reflects a commitment to eco-friendly and ethical production. This approach not only supports the reduction of stress-induced wrinkles and visibly reduces scaliness but also ensures that the product is suitable for a wide range of applications, including skin care, body care, facial care, and even baby care.
The connection between nature and biotechnology is evident in every aspect of ALGAKTIV® Zen’s production. By restoring homeostasis and supporting the skin’s natural functions, this ingredient helps the skin recover from the effects of inner stress and environmental fatigue. The synergy between the exclusive microalgae blend and advanced biotechnology creates a holistic solution that protects, restores, and enhances the skin’s appearance—making ALGAKTIV® Zen a true reflection of harmony between human wellness and the natural world.

"I wanted to leave it a few weeks before writing a review, I was fed up with buy REALLY expensive creams when I knew exactly what i wanted. I purchased a few ingredients for skin conditioning and DNA repair enzymes. So far so good, its a marathon not a sprint. Thank you Aromantics for providing good quality affordable actives and creams and i will continue to purchase and expand"

"Lovely texture upon adding to my moisturiser. Makes my skin soft. Wish it was a little cheaper,one star off for the price. Would definitely buy more often if the price comes down ."
"Easy to use but I need to use it a bit longer to decide if I like it or not on my skin. Plus is that it has been grown in clean controled condition"
"Love using Algae as part of my skin care routine. It is the first time using the one branded by Aromantic and so far, so good. I like the consistency of it and how it blends with other oils. I just rated a 3 as I'm still to review whether or not it works on wrinkles. Some time might be needed for that."
