What does Iridaea Bioactive Facial Masque do?
This is your results-driven anti-aging treatment mask — a bioactive powerhouse that tightens, brightens, promotes collagen synthesis, and refines skin texture in a single application. Formulated with Mazzaella red algae, spirulina, chlorophyll complex, mulberry, and four sources of vitamin C, it delivers visible firming and luminosity while actively supporting the skin’s structural integrity. For spa professionals, this is the mask you reach for when clients want to see and feel an immediate difference — tighter contours, brighter complexion, smoother texture.
What makes Iridaea Bioactive Facial Masque unique?
Maximum bioactives. Collagen support. Visible transformation.
The seaweed foundation:
- Mazzaella splendens — Seaflora’s signature red algae, hand-harvested in Sooke, BC. Rich in antioxidant polysaccharides that soothe, hydrate, and support skin health
The bioactive complex:
- Spirulina maxima — nutrient-dense blue-green algae packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids that nourish and revitalize; supports cellular renewal and skin firmness
- Chlorophyllin copper complex with mulberry — potent brightening and detoxifying; chlorophyll oxygenates and purifies while mulberry inhibits tyrosinase to address uneven tone
- Spearmint essential oil — stimulating and invigorating; promotes circulation for a healthy, vibrant complexion
The quad vitamin C complex:
- Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate — stable, water-soluble vitamin C that brightens and supports collagen synthesis
- Ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C ester) — penetrates deeper into skin tissue to stimulate collagen production
- Ascorbic acid — pure vitamin C for immediate antioxidant protection and radiance
- Berry extracts (cranberry, raspberry, blueberry) — natural vitamin C plus anthocyanins and additional antioxidants
The refining base:
- Kaolin clay — gentle purification and pore refinement
- Willow bark extract — natural salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation and texture improvement
- Aloe vera — hydrates and soothes
- Rose hip oil — nourishing essential fatty acids and natural retinol precursors
- Neem and rosemary extracts — purifying and antioxidant support
- Roman chamomile and lavender oils — calming aromatherapy and skin-soothing benefits

What are some spa therapist tips for maximizing results?
- For enhanced penetration — apply after exfoliation or enzyme treatment; prepped skin absorbs bioactives more effectively
- For maximum tightening — let the mask dry fully before removing; the tightening effect intensifies as it sets
- For tired, dull skin — the spirulina and chlorophyll work immediately; even one application delivers visible brightness
- For collagen boost — layer a vitamin C serum underneath the mask for intensified collagen-supporting benefits
- For the neck and décolleté — always extend application to these areas; they show aging and respond beautifully to the tightening and firming actives
- For texture concerns — the willow bark provides gentle exfoliation; use regularly (weekly) for cumulative smoothing benefits
- For wellness-focused clients — talk about the spirulina and chlorophyll as “superfoods for skin” — nutrient-dense, oxygenating, revitalizing
