- Dulse - neptune's girdle
In the earliest known written record of Dulse it was harvested 1400 years ago by Irish monks. Dulse grows on the ocean floor in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific Sea where currents are swift and the waters are very clean. It is rich in iron, potassium, iodine and vitamin B6. In body wraps and masks it has strong emollient properties and helps maintain moisture while drawing out toxins and smoothing the skin to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Dulse powder may also be combined with oil and rubbed on the skin for skin-smoothing exfoliation.
- Kombu - sea tangle
Kombu is a mineral rich seaweed powder used for bodywraps and facials. This unique Seaweed is packed with skin nurturing vitamins and works to draw out damaging toxins, rejuvenate the body and significantly reduce bloat. Body wrap treatments cause pores to open, releasing toxins and purifying the body while allowing the nutrients from the seaweed to rejuvenate the body. Natural beauty treatments with Kombu promote an overall sense of well-being while making the skin feel incredibly soft, toned and renewed. Also known as Sea Tangle, this sea plant cleanses the skin and helps bring it to a healthy, self-regulating state. The high mineral content actively stimulates and increases circulation.

Our Norwegian Rockweed is a brown seaweed harvested from the Icelandic sea; it grows deep in the ocean where the water is pure and clean. Rockweed is rich in vitamins and minerals, including essential trace minerals which are vital to healthy skin. It helps promote new skin cell growth and is often used in combination with skin exfoliation treatments. Use for regenerative skin care treatments to increase skin elasticity and a youthful appearance. Rockweed offers the best value per quality treatment of any seaweed.
- Sargassum - mermaid's mane
Sargassum floats on the surface of the ocean, readily absorbing sunshine and growing very quickly, producing vast quantities of nutrients. Sargassum increases circulation of the blood and the lymphatic system and is widely used in European cellulite treatments for which spas charge premium prices. It also cleans, purifies and tones the skin, helping to balance skin and maintain moisture levels. Its firming and toning action has a positive effect on the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Spirulina - blue-green algae
Spirulina grows in tropical regions of the world where the strong sunshine helps this water plant produce a veritable treasure trove of vital nutrients. It was a valuable food source for ancient peoples and with good reason; spirulina is so incredibly rich in nutrients that it produces more nutrients per acre than any other food source on earth. These minerals revitalize our skin, feeding it and replacing key nutrients that are lost through the ravages of age, pollution, and lack of moisture. Masks and body wraps made with Spirulina help to moisturize and tone the skin; it can be particular soothing to problem or irritated skin. Seaweed wraps or hot baths with Spirulina mud can reduce the pain from arthritis and muscle injuries.
