Seaweed and algaes are unique in the fact that they reside in the dense marine environment that both protects them from harsh UV rays as well as provides a simple filtration system, with these two factors present they are able to to thrive, flourish and sustain their potent content of minerals and nutrients, Vit A, E, K, Copper and Zinc just to highlight a few.
The other unique fact to the almighty Seaweed is how it exists in a dual environment of high and low tides, during these tide fluctuations the same seaweed plants are protected by cold marine waters and then exposed to environmental pollutants, UV rays and bacteria - similar aggressors that our skin have to deal with, as a result of these dual environments the seaweed develops qualities to maintain hydration, protection against the cold environment and free radicals that can cause damage. It is these qualities that makes Seaweed an ideal ingredient for maintaining healthy skin and treating skin conditions.
WHAT CAN SEAWEED DO FOR THE HEALTH OF THE SKIN?
-increased hydration, retains water in the dermis
-stimulates collagen production
-plumps the skin
-firms the skin
-provides both instant and long lasting results
-smooths wrinkles and fine lines
-creates stronger and more resilient skin
-mimics human plasma, nourishes and fortifies skin
-deliveries trace minerals to cells, tissues and layers of skin
-assists in delivering oxygen to the cells, tissues and layers of the skin
In terms of use in your skin care routine my professional suggestion
is to add this wonder ingredient into your booster or serum step. I suggest this due to the high power concentration of the minerals and nutrients in the Seaweed, serums are formulated with smaller size molecules to penetrate deeper into the skin yielding a higher impact result.

A WORD ABOUT HARVESTING SEAWEED...
When looking into purchasing Seaweed based products always consider the method of harvesting and the quality of the raw plant material. The most effective method in terms of maintaining the integrity of the plant would be the freeze dried method. This process uses cold as oppose to heat, which can interfere with the potency, to remove all the water from the plant leaving the dry matter an almost all of it precious ingredient content.
