Properties: provides a full nutrient complement to the skin; algae polysaccharides make this an ideal moisturizer (especially if you wish to avoid oils). This is the active ingredient in Creme de la Mer and we are really pleased to be able to offer an excellent active at an affordable price.

Use: may be added to your bath, applied directly to your skin or mixed with your favorite cream or lotion to give your skin the minerals, vitamins, amino acids and sugars that it needs for renewal. All this in a translucent, lovely "lotion" that is a pleasure to use. It can be used as a cleanser (after adding the very mild surfactant included in the kit) or as a scalp tonic.

Further information: Fucus vesiculosus is a sea macroalgae rich in caragenaan, algin, minerals and many active chemicals. Fermentation makes the cell contents of this algae readily available to your skin, moisturizing it and providing the nutrients required to synthesize new components. This is the key ingredient (the Miracle Broth?) in Crème de la Mer, Fucus vesiculosus is fermented by the same microorganisms that convert milk into yoghurt. Complement this active with rosehip or black cumin seed oils to supply the essential fatty acids required to maintain cell integrity.
