Why we use Seaweed in our Skincare
The bounty of the sea gives us an abundance of rich benefits in skincare. Seaweed is easily absorbed due to its bioavailable nature, more so than any other ingredient from nature. Our skin soaks up the benefits with ease. Let’s learn about the kinds we pour into our products every day.
Bladderwrack
Skin's strengthener
This seaweed is very popular in spas in Asia and Europe because of its ability to reduce the signs of aging.
We use it in our products because it contains a powerful anti-inflammatory called fucoidan. We have found this is one of the best ingredients to use when dealing with red, blotchy skin as it really helps soothe skin and promote evenness. Fucoidan is also a great anti-aging product as it
promotes elasticity in the skin. Bladderwrack is also a great source of potassium, iron, calcium, and zinc. It also contains Vitamins A, B complex, C, and E, and, working together, they flush nasty toxins from
the skin.
