Biodiversity in action
Did you know algae can protect both our skin and our planet?
As we’ve learned, algae play a key role in climate change mitigation, capturing carbon and supporting aquatic ecosystems.
But here’s something fascinating: they’re also directly useful for humans!
I was amazed to discover that many cosmetic products use algae as a core ingredient. For instance, the algaemie skincare line uses bioactive compounds from algae to support natural skin regeneration.
This approach is more than beauty, it’s biodiversity in action: showing how sustainable use of genetic resources can support both human well-being and conservation.
