REFERENCES: Commonly known as “tremoço-do-mar” (in the Atlantic Is of Azores, Portugal), is considered a snack—the swollen reproductive parts of the frond (the receptacles) are picked and consumed fresh. Studies have shown that this active ingredient possesses anti-inflammatory properties, prevents skin irritation, and inhibits the secretion of sebum, thereby improving the structure and overall condition of oily and impure skin, while lending it a cleaner, more natural appearance.
