Natural Algae EyePads by artefactum are based on Laminaria algae that grow under exceptional natural conditions. Their origin lies in one of the most productive and at the same time most pristine marine regions on earth: the Benguela ecosystem off the coast of Namibia and selected coastal regions of Ireland.
A unique ecosystem as the foundation
The west African coast of Namibia is shaped by the Benguela Current, one of the oldest, strongest and most nutrient-rich ocean current systems in the world. In combination with constant south to south-easterly winds, it creates one of the most intensive upwelling regions worldwide. Cold, nutrient-rich deep water is transported from depths of several hundred meters to the surface.
This deep water is exceptionally rich in mineralized nutrients derived from natural decomposition processes of organic material. In combination with sunlight, it forms the basis of an extremely productive marine food chain. At the same time, the isolated location, hyper-arid coastal conditions and very low industrial impact mean that the water of the Benguela system is among the purest seawater in the world.
Laminaria algae as a natural active matrix
Under these conditions, Laminaria algae develop a particularly high biological value. They act as natural reservoirs for moisturizing, protective and skin-caring substances that they absorb from nutrient-rich seawater during growth.
artefactum uses these properties in a targeted way and processes the algae in a proprietary, gentle process. The algae are highly dried, stabilizing and preserving their structure without losing their natural functionality. In this state, the EyePads are fully biodegradable and have a long shelf life.
Activation and active ingredient release
The Natural Algae EyePads are reactivated only when the appropriate liquid is added. At that moment, they absorb water, become flexible and begin to release their natural components in a controlled way. The algae act not only as a carrier material, but as an active matrix that stores moisture and releases it gradually to the skin.
This principle offers decisive benefits for the delicate eye area:
The EyePads gently adapt to the skin, provide intensive hydration and visibly support a smoother, more rested appearance. Studies and application tests show that fine lines and dryness lines can be noticeably reduced.
A 100% natural care experience
Natural Algae EyePads combine technological precision with an uncompromisingly natural approach. They are free from synthetic carrier materials, fully biodegradable and still offer a highly effective, sensorially distinctive care experience.
This makes them an example of the CosVention approach at artefactum:
using natural systems technologically to create new, powerful and differentiating cosmetic concepts.
Option 2: Ready-to-use solution
Alternatively, you can choose the ready-to-use version of our Natural Algae EyePads: the fastest way to implement a market-ready product.

artefactum is one of the leading developers of non-aerosol foam technologies for cosmetic applications. Within our Advanced Non-Aerosol Foam Technology, we develop functional foam systems in which the foam is far more than an application medium: it becomes a precisely controllable active ingredient delivery system.
Our technology makes it possible to deliver active ingredients to where they are intended to work in a controlled and reproducible way. This is enabled by specially developed surfactant and system concepts that actively influence transport, distribution and release. At the same time, sensory parameters can be precisely adjusted and aligned with the respective product concept.
A central element is the perfectly balanced foam consistency: neither too firm nor too fluid, but stable, fine-pored and pleasant to use. In combination with targeted sensory effects, from a light tingling sensation to an exceptionally soft, creamy skin feel, this creates application experiences that clearly stand apart from classic emulsions or gels.
Our foam systems have been produced industrially in millions of units for years, continuously developed further and optimized under real market conditions. This know-how flows directly into the current technology and makes Advanced Non-Aerosol Foam Technology a highly refined, stable and reproducible solution.
The technology opens up a wide range of applications, from cleansing and care to innovative active ingredient applications, giving brands a powerful platform for differentiated, modern cosmetic concepts.
