Our antioxidant-rich, hand-harvested giant kelp (macrocystis pyrifera) has highly regarded antioxidant, soothing, and hydrating properties; we blend it with probiotics, including lactobacillus and leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, to help the skin’s microbiome maintain a healthy mix of flora. Multi-faceted ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, bisabolol, and aloe fill in where your skin needs them, adding even more soothing, hydrating, and pore-tightening properties.

We blend our hand-harvested giant kelp with a red algae from the Irish coast (porphyra umbilicalis) known for its ability to actively protect skin against UVA-induced stress and photoaging — the type that travels through windows and clouds. Sea fennel (crithmum maritimum), one of the earliest plants to migrate from sea to land, supports their efforts: it’s also clinically shown to help protect skin against UVB-induced free radical damage.

A special, polyphenol-rich brown algae from the coast of France (ascophyllum nodosum) improves radiance and luminosity; it also helps to prevent the formation of future dark spots, as it has been clinically proven to neutralize the free radicals that can cause hyperpigmentation as well as ascorbic acid, the most powerful form of Vitamin C. It works with the sea fennel, also harvested off the coast of France, to gently lighten existing hyperpigmentation and encourage a more even skin tone.

We all know and love hyaluronic acid for the way it attracts and creates a breathable barrier on the surface of the skin, providing it with a natural reservoir of moisture. We blend multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid in our proprietary blend with red seaweed (chrondrus crispus), sourced from the Pacific coast. These two ingredients are dramatically more effective than just one or the other, working together to trap moisture in the skin. And polyglutamic acid is what takes our hydration blend to the next level: it’s an amino acid that encourages the production of skin’s natural moisturizing factor. This helps skin hold onto moisture more effectively and pull it in more deeply so that it doesn’t just stay on the skin’s surface. Along with sea fennel and other favorites (squalane, propanediol, glycerin), this creates a perfectly complete cycle of hydration.

Yet another seaweed from France (asparagopsis armata) works with the others in our blend to shield skin's microcapillaries from external stressors, with clinically proven ability to reduce UV stress-induced activity that can lead to redness.

Sea fennel, the all-around power player, supports it all — helping to hasten skin’s natural healing processes and improving epidermal metabolism for healthier, more vibrant skin. Two tried-and-true peptides (there are a lot out there that are all talk) work with it to increase skin’s collagen production, helping to improve its structural integrity and leading to firmer skin with fewer fine lines.
