What it is
Peptide fraction from Fucus vesiculosus (bladderwrack); INCI peptide form distinct from bladderwrack extract entries; enzymatic hydrolysis yields fucoidin-adjacent peptide complexes with confirmed moisture-retention and mild collagen-supportive activity; iodine-normalised to remove endocrine concern; applied in anti-aging hydration formulas.
