Seaweed Kelp Complex
Seaweed Kelp Complex is a nutrient-rich blend of natural kelp extracts commonly used in British skincare and haircare. Packed with minerals, antioxidants and polysaccharides, it helps to hydrate, soothe and revitalise skin and hair. A favourite in clean beauty formulations for its ocean-derived goodness.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Seaweed Kelp Complex functions as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent, drawing moisture into the upper layers of the skin while forming a light protective film that helps prevent dehydration. Its natural polysaccharides and trace minerals support a smoother, more supple appearance, while the antioxidants help shield the skin from environmental stressors. In haircare it coats the hair shaft to improve manageability and impart a healthy-looking shine without weighing it down.

Where it comes from
Seaweed Kelp Complex is derived from various species of brown seaweed (kelp) sustainably harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These marine plants naturally concentrate minerals, vitamins and bioactive compounds from seawater.
