Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Extracted from bull kelp used by Māori and other indigenous peoples of New Zealand and southern regions for food and traditional medicine. Historically valued for its nutritional content and potential anti-inflammatory properties.
