Born and raised by the sea in Norway, I always enjoyed playing with the sea kelp when the tide went out. Some types of kelp were sticky and slimy, others had bubbles you could pop. Some were crunchy, and they all smelled like the sea.
The local farmers would often collect the sea kelp and put it around their fruit trees. It was known to supply the trees with valuable nutrients and keep the soil moist. When I started making my own skincare products, I realized how valuable kelp can be as an anti-aging ingredient.
Sea kelp is a rare ingredient in skincare products. Traditionally, you were only able to get it from main stream products, at almost $200.00 per ounce. Lucky for you, I was able to find sea kelp from a reputable company known for its high quality anti-aging actives. They harvest their own kelp and ferment it with lactobacillus. This makes it into bio-available super food for the skin.
Sea kelp is cooling, refreshing and highly moisturizing. You’ll also find plenty of anti-oxidants, such as vitamin A, C and E. Antioxidants can prevent and repair skin damage from too much UV radiation. You’ll also find high levels of iodine, copper, selenium and zinc. These minerals calm irritated skin, boost brightness and increase water levels in the skin cells.
Sea kelp has a natural ability to protect itself from drying out,. Therefore, we can expect it to do the same for the skin. It also has the ability to tighten the skin, shrink pores and regenerate and rebuild elastin to prevent sagging.
Fortunately, you no longer have to buy toxic skincare products just to get a high quality product with anti-aging ingredients. Many natural skincare companies are now adding awesome ingredients to their product lines, and Green Beauty is no exception.
Bio-fermented sea kelp is a key ingredient in all of these products:
