MEET OCEANBOOST™ LF

Bioactive fucoidan for skin longevity and comfort.

OCEANBOOST™ LF is a high-purity fucoidan refined from invasive Sargassum for cosmetics and personal care.

In human topical studies, formulations containing 0.3% OCEANBOOST™ LF improved skin hydration, reduced transepidermal water loss and delivered soothing effects. Further testing demonstrated improvements in firmness, elasticity and smoothness.

Supporting laboratory research explores TRPV1 and AP-1 modulation, melanin production and keratinocyte repair—pathways relevant to skin sensitivity, pigmentation and barrier recovery.

From daily serums and emulsions to scalp-care concepts, OCEANBOOST™ LF gives formulators a multifunctional bioactive with an expanding scientific dossier and a circular marine origin.

THE SCIENCE

Go deeper into the biology.

Our research examines pathways involved in cellular stress, inflammatory signalling and skin recovery.

Explore laboratory mechanisms alongside human topical outcomes, with evidence identified by grade and study type.

Request the technical dossier

TRPV1 · Sensory signalling

Laboratory research investigates how OCEANBOOST™ modulates TRPV1, a receptor involved in sensory responses to irritation. Separate human topical studies with OCEANBOOST™ LF measure soothing and skin-comfort responses.

AP-1 · Matrix-related pathways

Cellular research examines AP-1 activity and pathways involved in extracellular matrix degradation. These mechanistic findings complement separate human topical studies measuring skin firmness, elasticity and smoothness.

Keratinocytes · Skin recovery

Laboratory scratch-assay research examines keratinocyte migration and repair, providing a biological rationale for skin-recovery applications. Separate human topical studies with OCEANBOOST™ LF measure hydration and transepidermal water loss.

Cellular longevity · Research programme

Our preclinical programme investigates cellular senescence, NAD⁺/SIRT1-related pathways and responses to oxidative stress. Ask our team for the grade-specific dossier and experimental conditions relevant to your development. Laboratory findings do not establish longevity benefits in humans.

OCEANBOOST™ UV · BIOACTIVE SPF BOOSTING

Explore another dimension of SPF performance.

OCEANBOOST™ UV is the dedicated grade for bioactive SPF boosting that provides bioactive defense through novel upstream pathways.

This grade provides a COSMOS-approved solution for brands looking to integrate advanced biological photoprotection into suncare formulations to boost their SPF without compromising on efficacy.
