Market-leading ingredients such as this readily meet the growing global demand for novel high purity, certified organic ingredients supported by science.

Skincare & dermatology

Seaweeds are brimming with vitamins, minerals, essential elements and micronutrients that are necessary for health. They also produce natural compounds, such as fucoidan, that offer protection from environmental stresses and marine pathogens. The same benefits that offer protection to the seaweed plant can also be captured to maintain youthful looking skin and to support dermal condition. High purity, certified organic fucoidans are naturally occurring, bioactive compounds ideally suited for inclusion in premium skincare preparations. Their potential healthy-ageing, protecting, balancing and soothing properties have been extensively researched.

The Maritech® organic fucoidan range includes purified complexes designed specifically for cosmetic and dermatology applications. These cosmetic ingredients are all non-sensitising and non-allergenic.

Veterinary & animal health

As the demand for innovative and superior ingredients to support human health continues to grow, so too does global demand for high quality ingredients for inclusion in animal health products. Marinova’s Maritech® organic fucoidan portfolio includes a range of MariVet® ingredients created specifically for veterinary use in horses, companion animals, agriculture and aquaculture. These ingredients are commonly included in food supplements targeting gut and digestive health, immune function and ageing.
