What does Nourishing Seaweed Body Masque do?
This is the real deal — a Healing Lifestyles Award winner used by spas around the world for authentic seaweed body treatments. Nourishing Seaweed Body Masque brings the transformative benefits of classic European-style thalassotherapy to your treatment room. Formulated with five hand-harvested kelps from British Columbia’s pristine west coast, this luxurious masque soothes, firms, tones, detoxifies, and rejuvenates skin from head to toe. For spa professionals, this is your foundation product for signature seaweed body wraps — particularly powerful when paired with Seaflora’s 12-inch Macrocystis fronds for an unforgettable ocean immersion experience.
What makes Nourishing Seaweed Body Masque unique?
Five kelps. Award-winning. Used by spas worldwide.
The five-kelp powerhouse:
- Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) — rich in nourishing vitamins and minerals that revitalize skin; antioxidant properties protect against free radicals and reduce signs of aging, leaving skin radiant and refreshed
- Alaria digitata (wakame) — rich in antioxidants and minerals that protect from environmental stressors, promote hydration, and improve skin elasticity for supple, youthful-looking skin
- Laminaria esculenta — nourishes skin providing a youthful and luminous look by improving skin tone and texture
- Fucus distichus (bladderwrack) — assists in detoxification, gently exfoliates, reveals clear smooth skin while supporting overall barrier health
- Mazzaella splendens (red algae/Rhodophyta) — prized for moisturizing properties; soothes and calms irritated skin while supporting collagen synthesis and promoting a firm, plump appearance
The treatment support:
- Kaolin clay — gently purifies and detoxifies, absorbing excess oil and impurities, leaving skin refreshed, clarified, and balanced
- Aloe vera — deeply hydrates and moisturizes, soothes inflammation, promotes healing, and enhances skin’s natural resilience
- Apricot oil — nourishes and replenishes with essential fatty acids and vitamins, improving elasticity and maintaining healthy moisture balance
- Roman chamomile — soothes skin, reduces redness and irritation; antioxidant properties protect against environmental stressors
What it’s free from:
- Fragrance-free
- Hypoallergenic
- Safe for all ages
- Safe for the most sensitive skin types
