Kelp in skincare

• High in antioxidants 

Kelp is a natural ingredient that is rich in antioxidants that can protect you against harmful UVA rays and sun damage. Due to its high potency in antioxidants, it also protects your skin from free radical damage, external aggressors and daily pollution that can cause premature ageing! 

• High in mineral and iodine content

Kelp by itself, has high mineral and iodine content which help in softening and deeply hydrating your skin for longer periods of time. Additionally, it also helps in calming and soothing dry and flaky skin.

• Anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory 

Kelp by itself, also has potent anti-ageing properties that can help slow the ageing process and give you a more youthful look with consistent use! Kelp also helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to its anti-ageing properties.
