You already know that nature is a major source of beauty benefits. But did you know that something living underwater can supercharge your skincare? Clue: It’s long, nutrient-rich, and often found wrapped around sushi!
Seaweed is brimming with powerful nutrients and nourishing vitamins like Vitamin A, B12, C, and E. This underwater botanical is known for its ability to fight free radicals, support cell turnover, and keep skin firm and radiant. We harness the power of not just one, but two exceptional seaweed extracts to help your skin thrive: Alaria Esculenta and New Zealand Native Red Seaweed.
Alaria Esculenta – The Skin-Firming Kelp
Found in Greenland’s glacial waters, Alaria Esculenta is an eco-certified oil extracted from brown algae. Rich in amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this powerhouse ingredient is truly unrivaled when it comes to promoting radiant skin. Its resilience in extreme conditions makes it an ideal skincare ally.
Here’s why:
1. Boosts Collagen Production: As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Alaria Esculenta works by reducing collagenase and elastase—enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen and elastin. The result? Firmer, more supple skin that looks refreshed and rejuvenated.
2. Protects Against Free Radicals Environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure create free radicals, which contribute to premature aging. Packed with antioxidants, Alaria Esculenta helps neutralize these harmful molecules, keeping skin healthier and more resilient.
3. Encourages Hyaluronic Acid Synthesis Scientifically proven to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, Alaria Esculenta enhances skin hydration by attracting and locking in moisture. This not only keeps skin plump and smooth but also reinforces its natural barrier against external aggressors.
We love this intelligent kelp so much that we’ve infused it into our Concealer/Foundation, ensuring that your makeup doesn’t just enhance your beauty but also actively nourishes your skin.
New Zealand Native Red Seaweed – The Hydration Hero
A key ingredient in The One - Restore and Reset Moisture Cream, New Zealand Native Red Seaweed is a natural humectant that works to attract and retain moisture, delivering an instant plumping and smoothing effect. Here’s how it benefits your skin:
1. Deep Hydration & Plumping: This remarkable seaweed helps the skin draw in and hold onto moisture, creating an immediate and long-lasting hydrating effect. The result? A dewy glow and a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Supports Skin Barrier Function: By reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier, New Zealand Native Red Seaweed helps to maintain optimal hydration levels while shielding against environmental stressors that can lead to dryness and irritation.
3. Smoother, Softer Skin: With its ability to deeply hydrate and replenish, this red seaweed extract leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and beautifully refreshed.
Skincare should do more than sit on the surface—it should actively support and enhance your skin’s natural function. That’s why we’ve chosen these two exceptional seaweed extracts to be part of our range. Whether it’s the skin-firming power of Alaria Esculenta or the deep hydration of New Zealand Native Red Seaweed, these oceanic treasures bring nature’s best directly to your skin.
