Stories from Nature
Sea Oak is a type of seaweed commonly known as “Fucus” that grows on rocks in the Atlantic waters of Northern Europe, the Azores, and the West Indies. It is also called brown algae or sea oak and has leaves similar to those of an oak tree, but dotted with air-filled vesicles that allow it to 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 is capable of eliminating toxins and excess fluids from the skin. It is widely used, especially in anti-cellulite products.
Sea Oak essence is used in perfumery to evoke oceanic fragrances: its green, herbaceous, and woody scent resembles the smell of seaweed on the beach after a storm.
Skin Benefits
Sea Oak Extract (rich in iodine and minerals) supports skin detoxification, helping to reduce cellulite and fat deposits and promote a slimmer, smoother appearance. It stimulates lipolysis, targeting cellulite and smoothing problem areas such as the thighs and hips.
It improves microcirculation and promotes fluid drainage, reducing water retention and providing relief to swollen and heavy areas. It increases skin tone and elasticity by stimulating microcirculation and nourishing the skin.
It stimulates collagen synthesis, helps improve the skin’s appearance, and reduces the signs of aging. It also has a moisturizing and emollient effect thanks to the presence of polysaccharides.
In cleansing formulas, it is a valuable ally for the skin, rich in minerals and vitamins that provide a remineralizing and revitalizing effect, ideal for revitalizing tired skin. As it cleanses, its natural mucilages protect the hydrolipidic film, ensuring softness and hydration, while iodine stimulates microcirculation, providing a toning and detoxifying effect.
