Health-Approved Heroes:
TRUTH | Seaweed and Algae – I am personally obsessed with the healing nature of seaweed/algae! Our Body Cleanser: Wash This contains algae extract and it is to die for!! A superfood, according to its definition, is a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being. Seaweed is one of the most nutrient-rich organisms on the planet. What we typically think of as seaweed is actually a form of multi-cellular algae. Essentially, all seaweeds are algae but not all algae are seaweed.
BEAUTY | It works hard to nourish the skin’s microbiome. seaweeds + algae are rich sources of:
Vitamins, especially A, B, C, E and K
- Minerals such as magnesium, calcium, copper, potassium, iodine, iron and zinc
- Trace elements such as vanadium, chromium, selenium and more
- Soluble fiber
- Carbohydrates (the good ones)
- Antioxidants
- Amino acids
- Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids
- Enzymes
- Phytohormones
- Alginic acid
Here’s a quick outline of some of the most talked about benefits of algae and seaweeds for skin:
- Providing essential hydration to alleviate the feel of dry, tight & uncomfortable skin
- Soothes & calms a variety of irritations for smooth, healthy, glowing skin
