Deep beneath the ocean surface lie some of nature’s most fascinating organisms – microscopic diatoms that have refined one of nature’s most advanced protection systems over millions of years. Their shells of natural silica consist of an intricate nanostructure that continues to inspire scientists worldwide.

From this innovation, Algica® has emerged – becoming an award-winning biotechnical ingredient. Instead of harvesting ocean resources, living diatoms are carefully cultivated in controlled systems on the Swedish west coast. Using sunlight, water, and nutrients, an ingredient is created that preserves nature’s own precision while production is carried out with care for both the environment and the future.

What makes Algica® unique is its natural three-dimensional silica network. The microporous structure acts as an intelligent carrier of active ingredients, helps the skin maintain its natural moisture balance, and contributes to a soft, silky skin feel. At the same time, it absorbs excess sebum and helps protect the skin against external environmental influences, making Algica® a valued ingredient in advanced skincare.

For YAG Sweden, Algica® represents the meeting of science and nature – where Swedish biotechnology unites with the ocean’s own intelligence. The result is skincare with a sense of purity, innovation, and timeless Nordic exclusivity, created for those who seek the best from both nature and research.
