the original extracts

RMA_0140_.jpg

The seaweed collection sites used in treatments are on the island of Moléne, in the heart of the Iroise Marine Park where more than 800 species of seaweed have been listed.
This marine protected area is located in the open sea, in a setting classified as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO .
  since 1988.
Seaweed is harvested in the traditional way, by picking, respecting their ecology and biodiversity.

The extracts are obtained by maceration without using any chemistry. These techniques make it possible to preserve all of their intracellular content.

Seaweed extracts are combined in synergy in the formulas, according to their specific properties:

  • brown algae for their richness in mineral salts, sulphated polysaccharides, polyphenols

  • red algae for their richness in organic silicon and their antiseptic properties

  • green algae with nourishing properties due to the presence of vitamins and antioxidants

 

     

Affinity with the skin:
The presence of mineral salts and trace elements in all the formulas gives them a similarity with the natural physiological environment of the cells and thus develops an astonishing affinity with the skin.
