5 Secrets of Seaweed and Sand Soap

Seaweed is a time-honored component in Japanese anti-aging remedies. In many Asian cultures, seaweed is consumed and applied directly to skin to reap its many beauty benefits. If seaweed use is so commonplace in Asian cultures, why are we encountering such an intense buzz about seaweed lately? And what does this have to do with your soap?

Seaweed and sand soaps harbor 5 secrets to more beautiful, vibrant skin. They create healthier skin by:

1) Rebalancing and Repairing

A bit of unassuming seaweed offers antioxidants, anti-inflammatory benefits and sun protection. In fact, there is no food on the planet more abundant in vital minerals and trace elements than seaweed. These essential minerals and elements penetrate through skin’s defensive barrier, helping the body detox and fight free radicals.

Left unchecked, free radicals can cause cell damage. Seaweed and sand soaps help repair skin by defending the DNA against environmental aging. They fight free radicals to produce younger looking skin, improved circulation and hormonal balance. The B-complex vitamins found in seaweed nourish skin, helping it regain its own healthy balance.

2) Exfoliating

Try to banish visions of slimy seaweed from your mind. Seaweed actually makes a fabulous exfoliant. The bits of seaweed used in soaps possess just the right texture to gently buff the skin, remove dead skin cells, and reveal fresh and rejuvenated skin instead. The fine sand included in the soap also exfoliates. Remember the smoothness of your feet after a long walk on the beach?

Sand serves as a natural exfoliant that delicately polishes skin, giving it a soft luster. The exfoliating duo of seaweed and sand buffs and polishes skin, leaving it looking younger and brighter. Proper exfoliation also helps keep skin clearer, removing surface impurities from the skin that cause breakouts. Once skin is cleared of all impurities—including dead skin cells—any other skin care products that you use will become more effective. Fresh, new skin simply responds better.

3) Moisturizing

Keeping skin properly moisturized is the simplest way to combat fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, most commercial soaps dry skin out as they clean. When soaps are made, they produce a substance called glycerin. Glycerin helps maintain the moisture in your skin. Here’s the problem: commercial soap manufacturers extract glycerin from the soap, in order to sell it later in moisturizers and lotion. Their gain is your loss, and your skin suffers as a result. Seaweed is known to significantly increase hydration.

With seaweed and sand soaps, you get a quality, non-drying cleanser thanks to the moisturizing benefits of glycerin. But can a moisturizing soap produce the kind of clean that you need? Yes. As the glycerin moisturizes, the seaweed and sand work to scrub away resistant dirt and grime. The combination of glycerin, seaweed and sand make the soap simultaneously tough and gentle.

4) Protecting

You work hard to protect the environment by reducing, reusing, and recycling whenever you can. You try to take measures to live simply and create a smaller ecological footprint. So why not be mindful about skin care, too? Using natural products honors the environment. Straight from the ocean and plentiful in nature, both seaweed and sand are sustainable resources. Opting for soap that is kind to the environment provides a simple way to honor our bodies and the earth.

5) Refreshing

Your at-home bath rituals shouldn’t ignore the therapeutic benefits of seaweed. Pieces of the ocean itself can turn your shower or bath time into an oasis, a quiet meditative moment in your busy day. Seaweed and sand soaps simplify your routine. They offer one product that can scrub, exfoliate and polish but that offers gentle moisture and nourishment. One bar that brings dull skin to life and stimulates cell-renewal, while helping to rebalance and detox your body.

Natural Renewal

Seaweed and sand soaps offer simple ingredients that create an honest, natural product. They provide a natural oceanic cleansing power, free of unnecessary additives and overwhelming fragrances. Seaweed and sand soaps offer you a sliver of the power and beauty of the ocean, accessible to you every day.
