Microzest 50 Lithothamnium is manufactured by micronization of lithothamnium calcareum.
The monomerous, crustose thalli are composed of a single system of filaments that grow close to the underlying surface.
The lithothamnium belongs to the family of red algae. It takes the form of small skeletons resembling coral. These fragile branches are made of limestone impregnated with mineral elements and trace elements (mainly calcium and magnesium), secured from seawater. These elements have restorative and purifying properties.
The microzest 50 Lithothamnium is convenient to formulate powder forms formulations as masks or wraps.
Its fragile and calcareous fronds are impregnated with numerous marine elements and trace elements (more than 32) in a readily available form. It presents a prominent porosity which increases the availability of trace elements.
Lithothamnium is used in many industries: cosmetics (thalassotherapy), health foods, antipollution industry, dietetics for feedstock manufacturers.
