• Seawater is a rich and balanced substance, containing all of the elements necessary for cellular life. Seaweed has the unique property of being able to concentrate these elements in a density up to 10,000 times greater than that of seawater.

• Due to its iodine content, seaweed helps to increase the metabolic rate, activating the exchange of substances and eliminating toxins. The amino acids found in seaweed aid in tissue development and mineral salts act on cell vitality, moisturizing dry and sensitive skin. Seaweed has been known to have slimming effects because of its high concentration of iodine and acts to revitalize the system and give relief from stress.

The vitamins in seaweed nourish the skin and work to increase circulation which in turn allows more oxygen to reach and nourish the cells. Seaweed has also been proven to be very effective in the treatment of cellulite.
