Cesra Spirularin Family
Cesra Skinicer Family

ocean pharma

Our oceans and seas are an almost inexhaustible source of potential active ingredients. One of these active ingredients is a kind of microalga from a tropical volcanic lake in Southeast Asia. In recent years, ocean pharma – a wholly owned subsidiary of Cesra – has developed a whole series of unique products based on this.

The microalga combines exceptional antimicrobial properties – i.e. antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties – while providing effective protection for the human skin. With the aid of a patented procedure, ocean pharma extracts the active ingredient Spiralin from the microalgae, thereby drawing on the effective, protective, and nourishing properties of the microalgae for its own products.

Spiralin has demonstrated its exceptional properties in thousands of user observations and several clinical studies. For instance, a high-profile study demonstrated the exceptional antiviral protective effect of Spiralin® in the case of herpes.*

Spiralin is the basis for the Spirularin series of medical foot care products and the skinicer brand for medical cosmetics studios.

With the Spirularin brand, ocean pharma is a leading partner in professional foot care and podiatry.
