Concern level

High concern

Enteromorpha Compressa Extract is a marine green algae extract used primarily as a skin-conditioning and hydrating ingredient. It is typically incorporated for its film-forming, humectant-supporting, soothing, and antioxidant-oriented benefits rather than as a strong standalone active. Cosmetic references describe it as a hydrophilic extract that can help reduce water loss, improve skin comfort, and support a smoother feel. Because it is a botanical extract, composition can vary by source and extraction method, so performance is formulation-dependent.
