    Discover the eco trend that’s making a splash

    The ocean holds powerful products for transforming the way you look without any cost to the planet. It’s time to take the plunge with these beauty heroes hiding beneath the waves.

    Worth its salt

    Not just a chef’s BFF, sea salts are replacing the (now banned) fish-unfriendly microbeads that were used for exfoliating. Salts are packed with skin-energising minerals that help to draw in moisture and strengthen its barrier.

    Dead sea salts have a particularly high concentration of magnesium, potassium and calcium – which are packed with revitalising properties (and you thought it was only good for chips!).

    A real gem

    Found in the waters of French Polynesia, black pearls are made by black-lipped oysters, and are ground down, and then mixed with oils, balms and creams.

    Black pearl is a natural source of calcium and thought to heal, firm and brighten skin, with a powerful kick of antioxidant protection. They’re also said to promote cell renewal, boost elasticity, detoxify, even out blotches and smooth skin texture. Pearls of beauty wisdom for sure.

    Get started with this: Dr. Organic Pro Collagen Plus Black Pearl Moisturiser

    It’s all about algae

    These plant-like organisms range from tiny single-celled phytoplankton floating in the water, to large seaweeds anchored to the ocean floor. Algae makes up to 80 per cent of the Earth’s oxygen, and its packed with antioxidants, vitamins and omega fatty acids – no wonder it brings huge wins to skincare!

    Planks for that!

    A feisty little life form, plankton’s packed with antioxidants, vitamins and omega fatty acids (fish are rich in omega-3 thanks to feasting on these microalgae). Its powerful natural ingredients fight dry skin and free radicals and it’s also thought to have detoxing properties and delay the ageing process in cells! (where do we sign?).

    Your beauty kelper

    Seaweed is one of the densest and fastest growing crops on the planet – it can increase by up to two feet a day! This super regenerational ability and nourishing properties make it a no-brainer for beauty.

    Containing minerals such as magnesium, manganese, calcium, copper, iodine, iron, potassium, phosphorus and zinc, as well as vitamins A, B, C, D and E, it could help protect skin from the environment and soothe irritation. Step aside sushi – our skin’s bagsied this one.
