Alginate
Natural protection for sensitive skin
Our alginate-based skin protection promotes the integrity of the skin, absorbs moisture and is ideal for sensitive skin.
What is Alginate?
Alginate is a substance derived from brown seaweed. It can absorb a lot of water
and forms a gel-like mass. For this reason, alginate has long been used in products
designed to care for or protect the skin.
When alginate is mixed with water, it forms a soft, elastic gel that adapts well to
different shapes. It can absorb a large amount of fluid, creating a pleasantly moist
environment on the skin.
Unique range features
There are many features of our Alginate product range:
Can help support stressed or sensitive skin
Alginate absorbs excess moisture, creating an optimal environment to support sensitive skin.
Highly Absorbent Adhesive
Alginates are hydrophilic – they absorb and lock away moisture. This ensures a dry and comfortable experience throughout the day.
Anatomically Shaped
Our Alginate products are designed to fit the shape of your body to increase comfortable wear time.
Warm up to wake up
Get the most out of your Alginate pouch by waking up the adhesive strength with warming up the baseplate.
High Level of Comfort
The unique characteristics of this range unite to create lightness and comfort whilst wearing.
