Tales from Nature
Sea Oak is a seaweed commonly called"Fucus" that lives on rocks in the Atlantic seas of northern Europe, the Azores Islands and the West Indies. It is also called brown seaweed or sea oak and has oak-like leaves, but sprinkled with air-filled vesicles that make it float.
It is one of the most widely used seaweeds in herbal medicine and natural cosmetics. It is known for its anti-aging properties and can remove toxins and excess fluids from the skin. It is especially widely used in anti-cellulite products.
Sea Oak essence is used in perfumery to evoke oceanic fragrances: its green, herbaceous, woody scent is reminiscent of the smell of seaweed on the beach after a swell.
