Even if you felt deceived, try looking at the bigger picture, nothing is eternal, Sapien Medicine could not even exist at all or could end sooner.

Yes, it’ll end one day, everyone should prepare for this idea but the difference between you and people is, you were lucky to be able to use those tools while people who maybe need it more than us are still clueless about the existence of this website.

Think of the people that will discover this website after everything is closed. I would be devasted about missing something this big. Enjoy while it’s still here and cherish those instants because you were here even if it ends one day.

I’m not trying to teach you a lesson by the way, there is no hostility and your emotions are legitimate… We are not entitled to something they said earlier, if they said NFT would last forever, they still have the right to change opinions. It’s a reminder in life that nothing is granted, even the best things !

Ill slowly unpack some more info about algaes included .
Starting from .
Lanablue - blues green algae extract , included in the field
https://www.ulprospector.com/en/na/PersonalCare/Detail/4501/748412/Lanablue-Paraben-Free

DESCRIPTION:

Extracted from a blue-green algae from the Cascadia region

INCI:

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate (and) Water (and) Aphanizomenon Flosaquae extract

MODE OF ACTION:

• Retinoid-like activity without the sides effects

PROPERTIES:

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
• Smoothes the skin

Lanablue™ is derived from a unique strain of blue-green algae, which thrives in pristine aquatic environments. This algae is renowned for its exceptional nutrient profile, which includes a rich array of vitamins such as vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin E, essential amino acids, and trace elements like zinc, magnesium, and selenium. These components work synergistically to provide a multitude of skin benefits.

One of the standout features of Lanablue™ is its ability to mimic the effects of retinol, a well-known anti-aging ingredient, without causing the irritation and sensitivity often associated with retinol use. This makes Lanablue™ an excellent alternative for individuals with sensitive skin or those looking for a gentler option.

Lanablue™ promotes keratinocyte differentiation, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin structure and function. By encouraging the turnover of skin cells, Lanablue™ helps to smooth the skin’s surface, leading to a more refined and even complexion. Additionally, it aids in the densification of the epidermis, which can enhance the skin’s resilience and overall appearance.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Lanablue™ can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as 21 days. This rapid improvement is attributed to its potent regenerative properties, which help to rejuvenate the skin and restore its youthful vitality.

In summary, Lanablue™ is a powerful, natural ingredient that offers a range of benefits for skin health and appearance. Its unique composition and gentle yet effective action make it a valuable addition to any skincare regimen.

it’s wonderful retinol alternative. The field is pampering skin on whole body ( i would like to include this pattern as often as possible )

Ecklonia cava (Paddle Weed, Kajime, Noro-Kajime)

Ecklonia cava (or paddle weed, kajime (搗布/未滑海藻), noro-kajime) is an edible marine brown alga species found in the ocean off Japan and Korea.

Herbal Remedy

  • Used as an herbal remedy in the form of an extract called Seanol, a polyphenolic extract, and Ventol, a phlorotannin-rich natural agent.
  • Phlorotannins such as fucodiphlorethol G, 7-phloro eckol, 6,6’-bieckol, eckol, 8,8’-bieckol, 8,4"’-dieckol, and phlorofucofuroeckol A can be isolated from Ecklonia cava.
  • Other components include common sterol derivatives (fucosterol, ergosterol, and cholesterol).
  • Identified as a viable colloid source for use in the biotech industry.

Nomenclature

  • English common name: Paddle Weed
  • Japanese common names: Kajime or Noro-Kajime
  • Standard common name in modern-day Japanese: Kajime (カジメ)
  • Confusion with the name Arame (アラメ), which refers to Eisenia bicyclis.

Range and Speciation

  • Perennial brown alga found mainly in subtidal areas off the coast of Japan and Korea.
  • Exists in kelp forests along the central Pacific coast in Honshu, parts of the Seto Inland Sea, the southern coast along the Sea of Japan, and the coast in Kyushu.
  • Type locality: Yokosuka, Kanagawa.
  • Similar algae taxa: Ecklonia kurome and Eisenia bicyclis (Arame).
  • Recent papers treat E. kurome as a synonym of E. cava.

Ecosystem

  • Creates seaweed beds (marine forests) in waters 2–25 m deep and can grow to be over 130 cm.
  • Plays an important role in the ecosystem, providing food and shelter for marine organisms.
  • Primary producers of their ecosystem, used as locations for reproducing by many animals.
  • Decreasing in numbers due to factors like increased water temperature, overgrazing, and overuse by humans.

Human Uses

  • Medicinal Uses: Used in dietary supplements and herbal remedies for insomnia, hair loss, high cholesterol, asthma, and erectile dysfunction.
  • Culinary Uses: Consumed in salads and soups, dried powder used as a flavoring and coloring agent in candies, rice cakes, miso soups, or kimchi.

DHT-inhibitor Ecklonia Cava

Hair Growth and Dermal Papilla Cells

  • Hair follicles are embedded in the innermost layer of the skin (dermis) and consist of dermal papilla cells.
  • Hair growth is closely related to the status of dermal papilla cells.
  • Ecklonia cava elicits several pathways involved in the multiplication of dermal papilla cells, ultimately resulting in hair growth (Kim et al., 2013).

Working Mechanisms of Ecklonia Cava on Hair Growth

  • Dioxinodehydroeckol, an active component of Ecklonia Cava, improves hair shaft elongation, dermal papilla cell growth, and the release of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (Bak et al., 2013).
  • Ecklonia cava decreases 5-alpha-reductase activity, reducing the amount of DHT in the body.
  • Dieckol is the most active component in Ecklonia cava for the reduction of 5-alpha-reductase (Kang et al., 2012).

Ecklonia Cava Compared with Known Medicinal Products

  • Ecklonia Cava has been studied against two known drugs for the treatment of hair loss, which inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity and promote dermal papilla cell growth.
  • Compared to minoxidil, Ecklonia cava shows that after 37 days of treatment, the size, depth, and length of hair follicles increase.
  • While the hair follicles of the control group were still in the telogen (resting) phase, those in the Ecklonia Cava and minoxidil treated groups were in the anagen (growing) phase (Bak et al., 2013).
  • In a comparison between hair follicle lengthening due to treatment with Minoxidil and Ecklonia cava, 1 µg/ml Ecklonia Cava had a mean increase of 12.4% in hair follicle length compared to the control group, more than the results with 1 µg/ml Minoxidil (+10.9%) (Kang et al., 2012).

Conclusion

  • The referenced studies show that Ecklonia Cava and its active components stimulate hair growth through the growth of dermal papilla cells, inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity, hair shaft elongation, and the release of IGF-1.
  • These findings indicate that Ecklonia Cava Extract is a potential therapeutic compound for the treatment of hair loss and could be used in topical form as a natural alternative to hair growth stimulating drugs.

I found interesting article in polish .

Here is translation
"Seaweeds, in their natural environment, are exposed to temperature changes, desiccation (especially those living in the tidal zone), and excess UV solar radiation.

To survive in these adverse conditions, they had to develop specific enzymatic protective systems that counteract atmospheric stimuli. Human skin also struggles with sudden temperature changes, dehydration, UV radiation, and the action of free radicals.

Therefore, the active ingredients obtained from seaweeds, contained in cosmetic preparations, so effectively strengthen its defensive forces. The human body easily assimilates seaweeds; our skin is bio-compatible with them because the plasma of human cells has a composition similar to the cytoplasm filling the cells of algae.

Seaweeds contain on average ten times more mineral components than terrestrial plants. My clients have heard this sentence from me many times. I love to incorporate algal masks into cosmetic treatments or use creams that contain bioflavonoids in their composition. Ca, I, Br, Fe, Co, Mg, Cu, Zn, and Mn are the trace elements found in algae, which in the form of compounds and complexes, easily overcome the lipid barrier of the epidermis. Algae are also a source of vitamins. Breton algae contain a full set of vitamins with a predominance of the B vitamin complex. Algal cells contain vitamins: A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, H, K, E, folic acid, and vitamin C, which is higher than in citrus fruits. Also, the content of vitamin A in some algae is higher than in carrots :) The proteins found in algae contain a rich set of amino acids: alanine, asparagine, arginine, glycine, lysine, and serine. Aosain, the protein of sea lettuce, has a composition similar to that of elastin. Therefore, for example, its use in cosmetic preparations at a 1% concentration reduces the activity of elastase – an enzyme that destroys collagen fibers by 53%. As Ms. Sławomira Jurkowska states in her book “Cosmetic Raw Materials,” thiamine – vitamin B1, occurs in seaweeds at 4.8 mg% (!!!) of dry mass, while in tomatoes only 1.8mg%. The lipids found in algae contain highly unsaturated fatty acids – including gamma-linolenic acid GLA, which restores the disturbed physiological balance of the skin. Polysaccharides (polysaccharides) that moisturize, improve circulation, and regulate sebum secretion, acting bacteriostatically, antiseptically, and anti-inflammatory, constitute over 60% of the active substances found in seaweeds. This is a true, most genuine wealth of trace elements and vitamins. They cannot be missing in a cosmetic treatment. The action of algae:

They protect the skin from moisture loss, improve hydration, and tighten. They regenerate dehydrated and damaged skin from excessive tanning. They increase the cohesion of the epidermis, leaving a protective film on its surface that limits transepidermal water loss – TEWL. Algae contain components similar to NMF (natural moisturizing factor). They strengthen, seal, and thus protect the walls of capillaries from breaking. They regulate the secretory function of the sebaceous glands, which is why they are used for the care of oily and acne-prone skin. They soothe irritations, accelerate regeneration, and stimulate cell growth. They improve epithelialization (skin renewal) and granulation (granulation and wound healing). They treat dermatoses, ulcers, stretch marks, scars, and hair loss. They improve microcirculation and cellular metabolism. They regulate sugar content and are used in preparations to combat cellulite. They promote the elimination of circulatory disorders (including lymphatic blockages) and support osmosis in intercellular areas (counteracting leg swelling and cellulite). They cleanse the skin and brighten the complexion. They are used to care for skin poisoned by nicotine. Algae have bacteriostatic properties, inhibit inflammation, fight viruses, and have anti-cancer effects. They strengthen the lipid barrier of the epidermis and protect the skin from infections. They provide the skin with nutrients and protect it from adverse environmental factors. They revitalize, regenerate, and strengthen the skin. The algae I use in the office come in the form of:

aqueous extracts. micronized algae – the process of their acquisition involves air drying, grinding, variable pressure, and low temperature. As a result, the cell walls of the algae crack, the cytoplasm comes out, and we get a delicate powder of highly concentrated algae lyophilized sheets – the algae are rapidly frozen and crushed, all water is removed, and an ideally dried powder is obtained, which is then pressed into sheets. To restore the nutritional capabilities of the lyophilized algal sheet during the treatment, just moisten it with water moisturizing creams with biflavonoids intensely moisturizing and soothing masks for ultra-sensitive skin algae masks that extinguish redness vitalizing algae masks, with vitamins"
