Giant kelp extract from the Macrystis pyrifera kelp is an ingredient with smoothing and hydrating properties. We tailor make our extract in France to get the ratio the way we want.You’ll find Macrocystis pyrifera in our Balancing Essence Mist.
Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, is the largest marine algae in the world one and one of the fastest growing organisms on Earth. Individual algae may grow to more than 45 meters long at a rate of as much as 60cm per day. Giant kelp is found along the coast of the western Pacific Ocean, as well as in the southern oceans.
Giant kelp helps smooth and hydrate skin, with some studies indicating it has the ability to improve collagen synthesis, maintain skin elasticity and fight oxidative stress.
We decided to tailor make our giant kelp extract, and stick as much kelp as possible into the extract. It took us roughly two years to get there, but our very own glycerin and water based extract saw the light of day. And that’s what goes into our Balancing Essence Mist.
The kelp we use comes from South America, and the extract is tailor made for us in France.
