from the sea to your skin
One of the most powerful skin barrier repair ingredients grows wild in the oceans of BC.
mermaid skin, powered by algae
Seaweed skincare has an ancient past, but modern skincare has neglected this ocean powerhouse.
When we discovered the benefits of seaweed for your health, and learned that no one was using our high quality BC sea algae for skincare, we knew we needed to do something about it.
Algae is an over-achieving antioxidant proven to increase skin hydration by 17% and heal the skin + gut biome.
We source of some of the best seaweed in the world from BC's wild Pacific Coast - and built a bodycare line around it.
Algae is over a billion years old. It didn't survive that long by accident. It's packed with polysaccharides, amino acids, antioxidants, and natural UV compounds. That same resilience it delivers to your skin + gut.
powered by Vancouver seaweed
We’re a team of product nerds, biochemists and seaweed farmers who also happen to live for the outdoors (we come by it honestly with Whistler and Vancouver Island in our own backyard).
When we discovered the world’s most nutrient-dense algae in the cold Pacific waters off Vancouver Island, we knew it had immense potential to heal and hydrate skin that works (and plays) as hard as you do.

a note from our founder
My journey to the wellness industry started with personal loss. After losing my parents to cancer and a 5 year fertility battle, I became obsessed with ways to optimize my health.
I’ve been creating natural wellness products for 20 years, and when I discovered the benefit of algae, sourced in my hometown of Vancouver, I knew this was something special.
My life's mission is to help people lead healthy, full lives. I believe that we all feel and perform our best when we are connected back to nature.
Our goal is to create beautiful, sustainable and high performing products so you can get back to leading a life you love.
