For us, simplicity is a deliberate choice. It’s a decision to remove the
unnecessary and focus on the things that count.
It means less filler and more good things — like sustainably harvested laminaria digitata extract packed with fucoidans, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals of exceptional quality. It means simplified skincare, while still getting amazing results.
Exceptionally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, our seaweed (laminaria digitata) is a highly prized ingredient in skincare formulations for its skin-beneficial properties. That’s why we have developed our own unique processes that ensure these rare bioactive compounds are not lost or degraded during extraction.
Our sustainably hand-harvested laminaria digitata seaweed boasts unusually high concentrations of fucoidans, a bioactive compound with numerous skin-protective benefits. Studies show that fucoidans can reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and inhibit melanin synthesis to improve skin tone and clarity.
Although primarily known for its exceptional skin-nourishing powers, laminaria digitata is also an unparalleled humectant — meaning it delivers soothing, long-lasting hydration and protection to troubled skin of all types.
One day, in the aftermath of a violent winter storm, our family began exploring the wreckage-strewn shores of our tiny cove.
There was seaweed everywhere. Our daughter picked up a frond and playfully slapped us with it. That’s when we noticed a gel-like substance coming from the plant.
In the days, months, and years since that moment, that gel has become our obsession. A single-minded pursuit to respectfully unlock laminaria digitata’s secrets. A relentless focus on refining our extraction processes. Tweaking our recipes to ensure every ingredient works synergistically with seaweed’s bioactive compounds to provide maximum benefit. And making sure that every product we create is wholly sustainable and respectful of the ocean – and the Earth’s – health and biodiversity.
Because we believe in the nurturing power of seaweed.
“I love your homemade seaweed cream! My son has horrible eczema and has been prescribed cream from the doctor. I didn’t even bother to bring it on my trip home because it wasn’t effective. My mom started applying the seaweed cream to his problem areas twice a day and it’s just about cleared up. Unbelievable! He went from bleeding, cracked, itchy skin to almost clear skin. Thanks Courtney and Terry for creating that cream. I’ll continue to use it when we head back to Yellowknife”

"I have Lupus of the skin. This product was a gift to me from a friend, and I absolutely love it! My skin was very dry and cracked. I tried other lotions, but was wary of what type of chemicals they contained, and what effect they would have on my skin due to my Lupus. The seaweed lotion is made from natural ingredients, which is awesome. It has totally transformed my skin, no more dry, itchy, and cracked skin, which has made me very happy!"

"I love the clay mask. Your skin really feels soft. I have found it has helped with decreasing redness and helps to even out my skin tone. My husband has a dry scalp during the winter months and he uses the hair and scalp treatment 1-2x weekly and has noticed a decrease in dryness and itching of his scalp. I use the scalp treatment once weekly and find my hair has a nice feel and shine. These products feel great.”
