What is
Sea Kelp Bioferment?

A nutrient-rich marine plant naturally fermented with Lactobacillus probiotics.
Sea Kelp Bioferment is produced through a natural process where Bull Kelp, a type of seaweed in the brown algae family that grows in underwater forests, is fermented with Lactobacillus probiotics. Fermentation breaks down the cellular tissue of the kelp leaf, thereby increasing the bioavailability and concentration of the naturally occurring nutrient compounds that are abundant in kelp.

**Our Sea Kelp Bioferment is created from Bull Kelp harvested from the Atlantic Coast of North America. The kelp does not originate in the waters of China or Japan.

Benefits of
Sea Kelp Bioferment
For Skin?

Sea kelp is a powerhouse marine-derived ingredient that’s loaded with antioxidants, fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals. Whether you choose it for its anti-aging properties, its superior moisturizing ability, or as an anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory defense against acne, psoriasis, or eczema, you’re sure to be impressed by this active marine botanical ingredient.

Moisturizes and creates a protective barrier against environmental damage

Sea kelp boasts an abundance of essential fatty acids that help restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Additionally, polysaccharides, such as alginic acid, lock in moisture, while natural minerals like magnesium and zinc can help reduce redness and soothe hypersensitive skin. It also shields the skin from harsh environmental conditions by creating a protective barrier.

Naturally exfoliates dead skin cells to improve skin texture and reduce redness

Sea kelp naturally draws out excess oil and gently removes dead, loose skin cells from the skin surface which can clog pores and breed bacteria causing inflammation, redness, and irritation. Since dead skin, blocked pores, and other toxins can make your skin look dull and lifeless, exfoliating with fermented sea kelp will leave you with softer, smoother, more radiant skin.

Promotes collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

High concentrations of amino acids and natural antioxidants including Vitamin C, allow sea kelp bioferment to nourish the skin and promote collagen production to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and give the appearance of plumper, more youthful-looking skin. Antioxidants can protect your skin from free radical damage, harmful UVA rays, and other environmental skin stressors which can help to slow the aging process and keep your skin feeling younger longer.
