Seaweed (algae) is the best ingredient for skin because it's chemical/mineral composition matches that of human plasma. This makes seaweed the healthiest choice for working in harmony with the major systems of the body, including the integumentary (skin) system.

​

It's said that 1 liter of seaweed contains the same concentration of elements found in 10,000 liters of seawater, making it a super-charged vitamin and mineral pack for the skin. Here's what you need to know about the benefits of seaweed-based skincare:

 

Minerals act on the cell’s vitality with their

ionic potential. This prevents the cell from

shrinking by providing moisture balance.

​

Amino acids act by nourishing and

regenerating the fibroblast cell, which

stimulates the production of collagen and

elastin. Research shows that even relatively

low levels increase luminosity and decrease pigmentation by inhibiting adhesion of endothelia.

​

Vitamins are essential for overcoming

deficiencies, which can result in broken

capillaries, loss of firmness, skin lesions, and dry, scaly skin.

​

Vitamin A helps in the formation and

maintenance of healthy skin. It is also an

anti-oxidant.

​

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) is important

to the formation of healthy nerve

cells and helps in the breakdown of

carbohydrates for energy.

​

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) helps the

body breakdown protein, fat and

carbohydrates.

​

Vitamin B12 helps build genetic

material and assists in the absorption of

calcium.

​

Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and helps

promote healing.

​

Trace elements become catalysts that

increase the speed of biological reactions and allow for maximum skin penetration.

​

Copper helps keep bones vessels and

nerve cells healthy by assisting in the

formation of hemoglobin.

​

Iodine prevents goiter by its

involvement in the production and

release of thyroid hormones.

​

Iron is a primary carrier of oxygen

through the body.

​

Magnesium helps regulate body

temperature through the release of

energy from muscle storage. It is also

involved in the manufacturing of

proteins.

​

Zinc assists the formation of proteins,

which is integral to the growth,

maintenance, and healing of all body

tissues.
