A brown-seaweed extract rich in fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide that holds water on the skin surface.
What it does
Cladosiphon okamuranus (mozuku) is a brown seaweed harvested off Okinawa. Its standout component is fucoidan, a large sulfated polysaccharide that behaves like a hydrating film-former — it draws and holds water at the skin surface, giving formulas a cushiony feel. It is a supportive humectant / texture ingredient rather than a targeted active.
