6 reasons why your skin loves seaweed
Some of our fave ingredients in our skincare are seaweeds: plants and algae which grow in the sea…
Sure, we love using seaweed because it’s our mission to be natural, vegan and cruelty free…
Absolutely, we love wading out in our wellies to harvest local seaweeds like bladderwrack…
And yes, as a coastal business we love being able to use the fruits of the sea in our products…
But the main reason why we use seaweed is: it’s just so good for your skin!
Here are six of the best reasons why your skin loves seaweed:
- Antioxidant properties: High in omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids, polyphenols and Vitamins A, B, C, and E, seaweed is a strong antioxidant which protects skin from harmful free radicals and signs of premature ageing
- Anti-inflammatory properties: Seaweed protects and reinforces skin cell membranes, to help prevent damage to the amino acids in your skin
- Soothes: Seaweed collagen plumps, detoxifies and rehydrates the skin, to leave skin feeling replenished and renewed
- Hydrates: Seaweed contains fatty acids and protective sugars which hydrate and plump skin for a healthy and glowing appearance
- Nourishing: Rich in Calcium, Iodine, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and Zinc, seaweed is a great natural conditioner for skin
- Brightening: Seaweed is packed with protein and lipids, which protect and nourish the surface of the skin, to visibly brighten and improve skin appearance
