Corallina Officinalis extract is also used as an ingredient in some dietary supplements. Hydrolyzed Corallina Officinalis Extract is a product of the aqueous extraction of the whole algae. It contains essential minerals like Zinc and Copper, antioxidants like polysaccharides, galactose, and xylose, and MAAs (mycosporine-like amino acids) that act as a natural sunscreen. Some polysaccharides break apart during extraction into Galactose and Xylose, which are small-molecule sugars that improve the skin's moisture-binding ability and nourish beneficial bacteria, leaving a prebiotic effect. Zinc is an essential element for skin, enhancing the production of natural moisturizing factors or NMFs. Copper is involved in cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers, providing firmness and elasticity to the skin. **Propolis has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties, which may have applications for acne-prone skin. Propolis can help calm and soothe irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation. Propolis may help accelerate the healing of blemishes and breakouts. Propolis can help improve skin's overall health and appearance, leaving it looking radiant and glowing.**
