from the sea to your skin
One of the most powerful skin + gut health ingredients grows wild off the coasts of BC.
We're found it. Then we built a bodycare ritual around it.
We craft functional products with the healing power of sea algae
The science on seaweed has been there for years. Mainstream skincare just wasn't paying attention.
Algae is over-achieving antioxidant proven to improve skin hydration by 17% and heal the skin + gut biome.
So we went to the source of some of the best seaweed in the world - 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.

We spent over two years perfecting our bodycare formulas to ensure the highest performance. We leverage the latest biotechnology research to understand the opportunities in algae for your skin and overall wellbeing.
Our products are made small batch in beautiful Vancouver, BC, only a few kms away from Vancouver Island where our sea algae is sustainably farmed.
Our products are gentle on your skin and the planet. We use plant-based ingredients, vegan, reef-safe, cruelty-free, and sustainably packaged.
founded in Vancovuer
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.

We’re on a mission to support your overall health, inside and out. With natural, sustainable ingredients that actually work. With formulas that feel like a treat, but perform like they mean it.
