“A mineral-rich sea extract that hydrates and protects against environmental stress.”
What it does
Sea kelp (from brown algae) is rich in polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. The polysaccharides act as humectants to draw moisture to the skin, while the mineral content (iodine, magnesium, calcium) supports skin function. Algae-derived compounds have documented anti-ageing, moisturising, and protective properties.
