Algae-derived polysaccharide, used in our formulas to thicken and to form a film on skin. Its source is an EU ingredient listing, which records those roles rather than a measured effect on skin.

Dew in the formula

Algin sits in our formulas for one job: keeping reactive skin comfortable. We file it under Calming in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Dew in the film

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Dew in the evidence

Our source is an industry technical paper from a credentialed source, recorded as EU CosIng (viscosity / film-former). We grade that as supplier and sector evidence, weaker than published research.

Dew and its limits

The research behind Algin studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
