A cosmetic formulation comprises extracts and/or their derivatives, i.e., sea aster, brown algae, coral algae and Irish moss. In addition, metal-bound peptides are also contained in the cosmetic formulation. These components of the cosmetic formulation reinforce each other mutually so that the entire formulation exhibits favorable moisturizing effects that soothe the skin and increase its elasticity. Furthermore, a skin treated with it is very largely protected from damaging external environmental influences.
