Kelp (Macrocystis Pyrifera) is a seaweed member of the brown algae phylum (Phaeophyta). It is found in the colder coastal waters of North America. High in silicon, which is believed to prevent skin wrinkling and sagging, kelp is considered an essential food for the hair root.
Kelp is used internally as a food supplement for its vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial to the skin, fingernails, and hair. Macrocystis Pyrifera can be used with positive effects in weight control diets and can be added to the bath to smooth the skin.
Macrocystis Pyrifera's high iodine content, which also normalizes the thyroid hormone, helps treat anemia and manage obesity.
Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. Sea Kelp extract is used in creams, lotions, toners, masks, gels, soaps, and shampoos to stimulate the skin and scalp. Thanks to its toning and lifting effects, it can also be an effective ingredient in skin treatment products.See also
