About

Where does it come from ?

In the heart of the Camargue salt marshes lies a unique treasure: Pink Algae. This microalgae, called Dunaliella Salina, is responsible for the beautiful pink color of the salt marshes. Every summer, in August, the algae is harvested. It is during this natural phenomenon, known as the Pink Algae Prodigy, that the algae reaches its peak intensity, coloring the water with a brilliant pink.

A natural anti-aging remedy

Organic Pink Algae from the Camargue region possesses numerous properties for the skin, making it a highly effective natural cosmetic ingredient in the fight against skin aging.

It is present in all our cosmetic products, and has strong antioxidant properties, 10x more powerful than synthetic beta-carotene. It is also rich in carotenoids, vitamins and trace elements, making it a complete and natural anti-aging active ingredient.

But that's not its only secret: this active ingredient has a high concentration of glycerol, which means it has moisturizing, emollient and protective properties - your skin will thank you later!

Europe's 1st pink flamingo nature reserve

Our flagship asset flourishes mainly on the Aigues Mortes salt marsh in the Camargue, home to Europe's largest pink flamingo nature reserve.

Fun fact: Baby pink flamingos are born gray, their pink color coming from their diet. They happen to love a little pink shrimp, which in turn loves to eat our Pink Algae. As this algae is rich in carotenoids, once digested, the pigments are deposited on their skin and feathers, giving them their pretty pink color.
