What Is P. Elisabethae?
P. Elisabethae, or Pseudopterogorgia Elisabethae (Sea Whip), is a soft coral from the Caribbean that contains pseudopterosins, powerful anti-inflammatory compounds. These natural molecules help calm irritation and reduce redness.
Sea whip extract is particularly valuable for sensitive and reactive skin, providing soothing benefits comparable to some pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories.
