Why We Love Seaweed So Much

Why put Seaweed in Skincare products??

Karpati Skin Clinic loves seaweed and loves having seaweed in skincare.  In fact, Seaweed features as a key ingredient in our facial and body treatments as well as most of the Karpati Natural Skin Care products.

Here are our top 5 reasons why we at Karpati love seaweed so much…

1. Seaweed is Like Skin

Seaweed absorbs its nutrients directly from seawater. Seawater and blood plasma have a nearly identical composition of trace elements and minerals which are important for cell function. Marine plants such as seaweed absorb nutrients beneficial to the human body and can be used to protect and repair the skin as well as develop the defence mechanisms to protect the skin form environmental aggressors.

2. Seaweed Protects Sensitive Skin

Seaweed contains anti-inflammatory properties due to the high quantities of B12, B6, B3, B2 and B1 making it perfect for very sensitive or allergy prone skin.

3. Seaweed is a Powerful Anti-Oxidant

Oxidative stress has a substantial effect on ageing. Free radicals can damage biological systems. The marine environment is extremely demanding, competitive and aggressive. As a result, marine organisms such as seaweed are forced to develop an efficient self defence mechanism to preserve their survival and protect themselves. Seaweed contains powerful anti-oxidants to help fight oxidative stress and protect the skin cells from external aggressors.

4. Seaweed Hydrates Skin

Seaweed is full of humectants that draw in moisture from its surrounding environment and strengthen the extracellular matrix, in which Hyaluronic Acid, a key ingredient in skin hydration, is a major component of. Furthermore, seaweed contains many proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins that the skin can easily absorb. Vitamins C and E for example, help protect the skin from UV damage, boost skin’s natural collagen production, and moisturize the skin.

5. Seaweed Helps Fight Acne

Seaweed contains anti-bacterial properties essential to treat and prevent acne. The natural minerals contained in seaweed, which include omega, zinc and magnesium, create a barrier to protect skin while helping to heal skin of any infections. Combined with the hydration, anti-inflammatory and protective features mentioned earlier, seaweed is ideal in treating acne-prone skin.
