Frequently asked questions
What is Algae Extract?
It is an extract of Laminaria digitata, a brown kelp, carried in glycerin. It brings marine polysaccharides and minerals to a formula and is labelled as Laminaria Digitata (Algae) Extract in Glycerin.
How do I use Algae Extract in a formula?
It is water-soluble, so add it to the water phase of creams, lotions, gels and toners. Many formulators add botanical extracts like this during the cool-down phase.
What does Algae Extract do for skin and hair?
The glycerin draws in moisture and the kelp polysaccharides leave a light, conditioning film, so it suits hydrating face care, gels and leave-in hair conditioners.
What pack sizes are available?
From 500 g up to 25 kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
