What does Sea Therapy Facial Cleanser do?
This cleanser rivals moisturizers. Seriously. Formulated with Nereocystis bull kelp that hydrates at a cellular level and CoQ10 that helps prevent skin thinning as we age, Sea Therapy Facial Cleanser delivers skincare benefits that most cleansers can only dream of. This fragrance-free, milky cleanser removes impurities while flooding the skin with nourishment — leaving it cleaner, softer, and more hydrated than before you started. For spa professionals, this is your treatment cleanser for clients whose skin needs extra care: dry, mature, thinning, or compromised skin that can’t afford to lose a single drop of moisture during cleansing.
What makes Sea Therapy Facial Cleanser unique?
A cleanser that treats. Hydrates at a cellular level. Prevents skin thinning.
The seaweed foundation:
- Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) — hand-harvested from the Salish Sea, this powerhouse seaweed delivers hydration at a cellular level. Its marine polysaccharides penetrate deeply to plump and moisture-bind in ways surface hydrators simply can’t
The age-defying active:
- CoQ10 (ubiquinone) — this potent antioxidant does more than fight free radicals; it actively helps prevent the thinning of skin that occurs as we age, supporting cellular energy and skin density
The nourishing oil complex:
- Olive oil — rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids
- Apricot kernel oil — lightweight, softening, and smoothing
- Coconut oil — deeply moisturizing
- Linseed (flax) oil — omega-3 fatty acids for barrier support
- Pumpkin seed oil — vitamins A, C, E, and zinc
- Avocado oil — deeply penetrating nourishment
The gentle cleansing system:
- Potassium cocoate — coconut-derived cleanser that lifts impurities without stripping
- Acetic acid — naturally balances pH
The botanical support:
- Dual pine extracts — antioxidant protection and calming
- Chamomile — soothes and calms
- Aloe vera — hydrating and healing
- Alfalfa, echinacea, nettle, dandelion, and clover — nutrient-rich botanicals that support skin vitality
What it’s free from:
- Fragrance-free — the odorless formula is ideal for sensitive or reactive clients
How does Sea Therapy compare to Sea Foam Cleansing Concentrate?
Sea Therapy Facial Cleanser (this product) — maximum hydration and anti-aging benefits, fragrance-free, rivals a moisturizer; best for dry, mature, thinning, or fragrance-sensitive skin
Sea Foam Cleansing Concentrate — hydrating with beautiful chamomile-lavender aromatherapy; best for all skin types seeking a luxurious sensory experience
Use Sea Therapy when hydration and anti-aging are priorities, when skin is thinning or compromised, or when clients are sensitive to fragrance. Use Sea Foam when you want the aromatherapy experience and sensory luxury.

What skin types is this cleanser best suited for?

- Thinning skin — CoQ10 actively supports skin density

How do I use Sea Therapy Facial Cleanser in treatments?
Standard cleansing protocol:
- Dispense a small amount of the milky cleanser into hands
- Apply to dry or damp skin
- Massage gently, allowing the nourishing oils to work
- Remove with warm, wet face cloth
- Proceed with toning and treatment steps
Treatment cleansing protocol (for extra-dry or mature skin):
- Apply to dry skin
- Massage for an extended time — 2-3 minutes — allowing cellular hydration to begin
- Leave on briefly (1-2 minutes) if skin is very dry
- Remove with warm, wet face cloth, leaving a slight residue if desired
- Proceed with toning and treatment
Pro tips for application:
- For very dry or mature skin, don’t remove every trace — let the residual oils continue nourishing
- Take extra time with the massage; the CoQ10 and Nereocystis are working while you work
- The fragrance-free formula makes this ideal for clients who find scents overwhelming or triggering
- Works beautifully with warm towel compresses
- Can be used on neck and décolleté where skin often thins with age
What treatment protocols pair well with this cleanser?
Mature skin facials — Start with a cleanser that’s already fighting thinning and delivering cellular hydration. Follow with Deep Sea Facial Moisturizer for collagen support.
Hydrating facials — Begin the moisture infusion from the very first step. Skin is already more hydrated after cleansing than it was before.
Menopausal skin facials — Address the specific concerns of hormonally changing skin with a cleanser designed for dry, thinning, sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin facials — The fragrance-free, ultra-gentle formula won’t trigger reactivity.
Barrier repair facials — For clients whose skin barrier has been compromised, this cleanser helps rebuild rather than further strip.
Winter skin facials — Combat seasonal dryness with a cleanser that adds moisture rather than removing it.
What are some spa therapist tips for maximizing results?
- For maximum benefit — extend the cleansing massage; the longer the CoQ10 and Nereocystis are on skin, the more they can work
- For very dry skin — tissue off rather than fully rinsing; let the nourishing oils remain
- For thinning skin — explain the CoQ10 benefit; clients with this concern will appreciate knowing their cleanser is actively helping
- For fragrance-sensitive clients — highlight the odorless formula as a feature, not a limitation
- For mature clients — position this as a “treatment cleanser” that rivals their moisturizer in benefits
- For neck and décolleté — always extend cleansing to these areas; they thin with age and benefit enormously from CoQ10
What add-on services can I create with this cleanser?
- “Treatment cleanse” upgrade — extended massage with Sea Therapy for dry or mature skin facials
- Mature skin facial package — build a signature service around this cleanser’s anti-thinning benefits
- Fragrance-free facial — offer a complete sensory-neutral experience for sensitive clients

- Apply to dry or damp skin and massage gently
- Take your time — the CoQ10 and Nereocystis are working while you cleanse
- For very dry skin, tissue off rather than rinsing completely
- Follow with Sea Splash Toning Essence and appropriate serum
- This cleanser rivals moisturizers in hydration — skin should feel softer after cleansing, not tighter
- Excellent for neck and décolleté where skin tends to thin with age
