Why it is in there
Dunaliella salina survives fierce sunlight and extremely salty water by filling itself with beta-carotene, the orange-red pigment that colours the salt lakes. That extract is in the day cream, alongside the UV filters that provide the SPF.

Where it comes from
A pink micro-alga from extremely salty lakes, where little else survives.
What is known
What the maker measured
The manufacturer studied a cream with 1% of this extract in 25 women aged 35 to 60: double-blind, one half of the face against placebo on the other, 56 days. On the side with the extract the researchers counted about a third fewer wrinkles than on the placebo side (number −32%, volume −35%), and 26% fewer red spots. The research was published in the journal Marine Drugs.
This is research into the active, not into the Valvor Man product. What a single active does in a study is not a promise about the cream it sits in.
