Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract is derived from a brown calcareous marine alga and is used in skincare for its purported moisturizing, skin-conditioning, and anti-aging effects, with some research suggesting it supports glycosaminoglycan synthesis and skin barrier function. It is typically incorporated as a functional active in serums and creams.
