Thalgo looks to the oceans, where all life began, as its main beauty inspiration.
The brand has harnessed the active healing ingredients in marine algae, seawater, and seaweed for use in its personal and skincare products. The Thalgo story began in 1964, when the company made algae-based products for medical applications.
Today, Thalgo beauty products are inspired by thalassotherapy spa treatments, which use seaweed and real seawater to treat skin problems. The company is the uncontested leader in today’s 'marine beauty' market, offering skincare lines, cosmetics and marine-based nutritional supplements.
The sea is the cradle of life on earth and constitutes an immense reservoir of substances that are only just beginning to be realised scientifically. In fact, marine ingredients hold the secrets of enduring youthfulness. Algae are naturally antibacterial and antiviral and have a high concentration of vitamins and minerals. Their active potential is immense: for example, one alga contains a thousand times more iodine, one hundred times more calcium, and ten times more magnesium and copper than a terrestrial plant.
Thalgo is proud to enforce environmentally friendly practices in the manufacturing of its products. To that end, the company uses energy from solar panels to help reduce CO2 emissions. Thalgo also follows an eco-friendly formulation charter and strict quality-control standards in the development of its products. All new formulations are free of parabens, mineral oil, GMOs, and animal ingredients. The brand is also a strong supporter of the Marine Conservation Society.
Consumers can rest assured that integrity and passion go into every Thalgo product. The company is dedicated to responsibility in the world of sustainable beauty.
