Fucus Extract 25% 10 g

What Makes Fucus Extract a Staple in Body Care Formulations

Fucus Extract 25% in a 10 gram pack is a concentrated derivative of the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus, standardized for its polysaccharide and fucoidan content. It belongs to the Powdered Extracts and Algae section, which gathers marine concentrates used across cosmetic and related manufacturing sectors. The main global demand for fucus comes from the cosmetic industry, where it is used in anti-cellulite gels, firming body serums, wrap treatments and thalassotherapy masks offered in spa and wellness centers. Thanks to naturally occurring iodine, minerals and polysaccharides, this seaweed extract supports microcirculation, helps maintain tissue firmness and provides a light moisturizing effect on the skin surface.

The small 10 gram pack size is well suited for home-based formulators and small trial batches, allowing developers to test the extract activity across different bases before scaling up to larger production volumes. Beyond body care, fucus extract is used in lifting facial masks, antioxidant serums and formulas targeted at mature skin, as well as in functional drinks and dietary supplements within the food industry, thanks to its natural iodine and trace mineral content. It is also studied by manufacturers formulating raw material blends for pharmaceutical-adjacent wellness products.

Fucus extract combines well with other marine ingredients. For a stronger detoxifying effect, it is often paired with Ascophyllum Seaweed Extract Powder, while for a thicker exfoliating texture it works alongside Fucus Powder, with the powder used in the scrub base and the extract dissolved into the aqueous phase of the final serum or gel. For regenerating and nourishing complexes, formulators frequently combine it with Snail Secret Extract Powder Protein 60%, resulting in a formula with pronounced firming and nourishing properties for both facial and body skin.

The recommended dosage of fucus extract in finished cosmetic formulas ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total mass, depending on the desired intensity of action. The ingredient should be added at the final stage of production, into the water or water-gel phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius to preserve the activity of polysaccharides and mineral compounds. Heating the extract together with the oil phase during high-temperature emulsification is not recommended. The raw material should be stored in a dry, cool place, in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to keep the declared concentration stable throughout the shelf life.

Marine Firming Body Serum

Distilled water 70 g

Aloe vera gel 15 g

Glycerin 5 g

Xanthan gum 0.3 g

Fucus Extract 25% 1.5 g

Broad spectrum preservative 0.5 g

Grapefruit essential oil 3 drops

Disperse the xanthan gum into the water at room temperature while stirring continuously until a smooth gel forms, then blend in the aloe vera gel and glycerin until uniform. Once the base has cooled below 35 degrees Celsius, add the fucus extract, preservative and grapefruit essential oil, mixing thoroughly until fully homogeneous. Transfer the finished serum into a clean container and allow it to rest for a few hours before use to stabilize the texture.
