The start-up company Marinox now produces lotions after years of research and development on substances that can be found in Icelandic seaweed and contain a lot of life and antioxidant activity.

UNA skincare are sophisticated Icelandic skin creams that have just arrived on the market. The Icelandic innovation company Marinox, which is partly owned by Matís, produces these creams after years of research and development. These are both rejuvenating day creams and constructive night creams that contain these unique bioactive ingredients.

Seaweed is a very underutilized resource in Iceland, but it contains a myriad of healthy biomaterials that can be used in a variety of products. The company Marinox has developed a natural method for isolating and producing active ingredients from this unique Icelandic resource and thereby ensuring their maximum effectiveness. Studies show a very positive effect of natural substances from seaweed on the skin. The bioactive algae in the UNA skincare creams contain a lot of very powerful natural antioxidants, bioactive polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. These substances include the fight against free radicals and skin aging, reduce inflammation and redness, as well as improve the elasticity of the skin and provide it with moisture.

The interplay of the sea and science thus helps to preserve the natural beauty of the skin!

UNA creams also contain other powerful active ingredients that prevent and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as rejuvenate and rebuild the skin. The creams, which contain high levels of natural and organic ingredients, are free of pigments, fragrances and parabens. Extensive consumer testing has taken place where over 90 women tested the creams. These tests demonstrate the excellent performance of creams. The majority of those who took part in a long-term test on cosmetics saw a significant positive difference in their skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Over 90% of the participants would without hesitation recommend the cream to others. UNA skincare creams are on sale at 32 outlets across the country. More information about these unique creams can be found at www.unaskincare.com.

Marinox is an Icelandic innovation company located at Vínlandsleið 14, 113 Reykjavík. The research and development work of the bioactive substances and creams has taken place in close collaboration with Matís in Reykjavík and Sauðárkrókur.
