Seaweed is a nutrient rich hair and skin conditioning agent that imparts a silky after feel. It can also be used as a source of trace minerals, amino acids, polyphenols, fatty acids, sugars and vitamins – practically everything you need for healthy looking skin and hair!

Typical vitamin components of seaweed:

Thiamin,

Folic Acid

Vitamin C

Typical mineral components of seaweed:

Sodium,Potassium,Calcium,Iron,Iodine

Instructions for use:

Seaweed powder is not completely water soluble so while it is possible to add it into a cream or shampoo in its powdered form we recommend you filter it into water then add the filtrate to reduce potential micro risk.

0.1-5% is sufficient.

Can’t be used in an anhydrous (water free) balm or product.

Avoid over-heating as heat destroys the amino acids and will reduce the activity of the seaweed powder.

Avoid high or low pH – pH 4-5.5 is ideal.

NOTE: As you might expect, seaweed powder has a sulphur like aroma that can smell a little fishy.  It is not over-powering but at high levels you might be able to detect it in fragrance-free products.

Please Note: These products are for cosmetic use only and not to be consumed.

For external use only.
