Europa
The ulva lactuca is a green algae that grows on rocks and becomes visible at low tide. With its big leaves, it resembles a head of lettuce. Dietetic specialists eat it for its taste as well as for its rich vitamin C content (10 times more than an orange and twice as much vitamin A than cabbage). In cosmetology, it is used in most products based on marine extracts for its hydrating, refining, relaxing and anti-stress properties. Clarins specific complex, Sveltonyl, contains extracts of this algae.
