The world’s most elite skin care brands know that sea kelp bioferments offer a vast array of compounds and nutrients that are hugely beneficial to skin health and wellness. Why sea kelp? Because it is quite literally the oldest living organism on the planet, and after 4.5 billion years of evolution it got very good at defending itself from the sun and elements. The fermentation process literally unlocks these defensive compounds and makes them highly “bio-available” to your skin.
You know this intuitively. You have seen sea kelp on the rocks at low tide getting hammered by the sun. Does it shrivel and dry out? No! When the tide comes in the organism is healthy and fine. That’s the kind of resilience we want for our kin.
We’ve studied the literature. We know that for skin exposed to the elements it’s well worth including. And because we are as transparent as our mineral sunscreen, we want you to know exactly what SeaSolution includes.
Sargassum Vulgare (Gulfweed)
Found in shallow tropical and temperate oceans, this free-floating species contains more than 200 biologically active compounds. It offers many skin health promoting benefits including antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, DNA protection,
anti-pollution, UV protection, and barrier
function improvement. In laboratory tests, sargassum vulgare extract reduced solar DNA damage to skin cells by a staggering 97%! 4.5 billion years of evolution indeed!
Macrocystis Pyrifera (Giant Kelp)
This sea kelp, common along the coast of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, is a rich source of vitamins and minerals and can stimulate, moisturize, and regulate the tone and texture of the skin. It can slow the decline of collagen production to help keep skin elastic and smooth, and it has powerfulhydrating,antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Fucus vesiculosus (Bladderwrack)
This brown seaweed found along North Atlantic coasts is Rich in calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, potassium and B vitamins.
Bladderwrack helps calm inflammation when applied topically. It contains antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E which neutralize free radicals that cause premature signs of aging.
