Product Information

Heals acne, rosacea, and sensitive skin: Camp says "seaweed can help soothe skin conditions associated with inflammation, like acne and rosacea." It has anti-inflammatory properties and contains natural minerals like magnesium and zinc, which have been known to help improve the appearance of redness in sensitive and hypersensitive skin. It also shields the skin from harsh environmental conditions by creating a protective barrier.

Brown algae complex is used in eye creams, facial serums and moisturizers for a very high concentrated dose of antioxidants, which fight visible signs of ageing in the skin. It works by protecting the membranes of skin cells and preventing damage to the skin’s natural amino acids. By strengthening cell membranes, environmental impacts that accelerate skin ageing are slowed down. 6. Seaweed Strengthens Hair A number of studies have proven that seaweed is an extremely powerful source of antioxidants, which help prevent inflammation. As a result, eating seaweed may reduce the risk of arthritis, celiac disease, asthma, depression and obesity. A study into the antioxidant activity of two edible green seaweeds, ulva genus and ulva prolifera, found varying levels of phenolic compounds, which are one of the most effective antioxidants in marine algae. This poses a health risk, as seaweed can also contain large amounts of toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead. Seaweed also contains an amino acid called tyrosine, which is used alongside iodine to make two key hormones that help the thyroid gland do its job properly ( 9).

While seaweed can definitely be considered a superfood for its extraordinary health benefits, there are potential health issues to consider before adding it to every meal. Dulse, a type of red seaweed, for example, has more than 30 times the amount of potassium than an equally sized piece of banana. Eating that much potassium runs the risk of causing heart palpitations in people with kidney problems, however, it doesn’t pose a threat in people without pre-existing problems.

There are more than 100 different species of edible seaweed, and around 10,000 species of macro-algae. Seaweed comes in three color varieties – red, brown and green. Brown varieties of seaweed are the most commonly eaten, including wakame and kelp. They are also the varieties that have had the most scientific research conducted on them. The next most common is red seaweed, such as nori, which is the one you would be familiar with if you frequent sushi restaurants. Unsurprisingly, the most common seaweed-based diets are eaten in Japan, which is where sushi originates, and Japanese diets are among the healthiest in the world.
