Upcycling Sargassum seaweed into a cosmetic emulsifier with silky texture
Our proprietary process upcycles the world’s most regenerative material to create an emulsifier that’s healthy for people and the planet. This oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier is made with a low-impact extraction and is COSMOS approved. Our customers love the silicone-like feel SeaBalance brings to its emulsions.
Find the Beauty in Sargassum
By upcycling Sargassum into eco-friendly products, we help restore marine ecosystems while creating opportunities for local workforce outside of tourism.
The annual Sargassum bloom has grown to 20-30 Megatons in the Caribbean, resulting in:
* Methane emissions from rotting Sargassum
* Biodiversity loss in coral reef and beach ecosystems
* 35% decline in tourism across the Caribbean, BEFORE the pandemic
Our proprietary green chemistry process creates an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier that smoothly blends into your water phase with either hot & cold processes, works with a wide range of emollients, and achieves a smooth and silky texture with minimal oil.
