The gem of the sea...

Sea lettuce grows in deep water in most temperate and cold seas throughout the world. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it has long been eaten in Europe to supplement the diet. In Asia, it has been used for thousands of years as a condiment and nutritional supplement. Thanks to its composition of complex sugars, sea lettuce is traditionally recognised for its draining and toning effect.

Cosmetic Effectiveness

A blast of youth!

In cosmetics, sea lettuce extract helps strengthen the extracellular matrix and protect it against deterioration for a “plumping” effect.
