These long-lasting 120g, 100% palm oil free, Seagrown branded, kelp infused soaps have been developed by us in our workshops, where they're handmade from a combination of locally sourced Seagrown seaweed, premium quality, natural plant oils and locally sourced beeswax.

One of the key active ingredients in kelp is aloin, which has been cited in several studies as being helpful in regenerating the connective tissues within the skin, lightening dark spots, moisturising and yielding benefits for eczema and psoriasis patients. Additionally, these soaps are free from SLS, SLES and all artificial foaming agents and surfactants, whose drying and irritating effects on the skin and exacerbation of a range of skin conditions, are well documented. Instead these soaps produce bubbles due to the unique combination of high quality, natural oils and fats in the formulation. They are also free from all preservatives, such as the potentially hormone disrupting parabens group of chemicals, present in many commercially produced personal care products. 

The soaps are created in small batches using processes which consume minimal fossil fuels and produce no waste. Whole, unprocessed, dried kelp, sustainably sourced from the seashore at Scarborough, on the North Yorkshire coast, only 24 miles away from the workshop, is the key ingredient in these exclusive soaps. The kelp is added towards the end of the saponification process which ensures that the beneficial, bio-active components of the kelp are preserved and present in the highest possible quantities, in the finished product. 

The gentle fragrances present in the soaps are created from a unique blend of essential oils, made from steam distilled flowers , plants and fruits rather than synthetic parfums or limonoids and there are no added colourants, whiteners such as Titanium oxides, or dyes, just the natural colours of the component ingredients.

Our Seagrown soaps are presented in exclusive, Seagrown design cardboard box packaging which is free from plastic and can all be fully recycled or composted. 

Ingredients

Our 100% palm oil free, Seagrown branded, kelp infused hand and body moisturising cream was developed in our Yorkshire workshop and is handmade in Malton, Yorkshire from a combination of locally sourced seaweed and premium quality, natural plant oils, each renowned for their skin benefits. These oils include coconut oil and shea butter which form the base of this intense, long lasting, moisturising product.

Unprocessed, dried kelp, harvested by our friends at Seagrown, from the North Yorkshire coast, is infused in aloe vera juice before being added to this uniquely beneficial cream for which we have received an enthusiastic response from both men and women customers. 

The key bio-active component, aloin is present in both aloe vera and in even greater concentrations in kelp. Aloin has been cited in several studies as being helpful in regenerating the connective tissues within the skin, improving its structure and appearance and therefore counteracting the signs of ageing. Other compounds present in seaweed act as tyrosinase inhibitors and have hence been shown to have a positive impact on skin pigmentation, including smoothing pigmentation imbalances and lightening age spots. Naturally occurring polysaccharides present in kelp have been demonstrated to retain moisture and act as an outstanding skin moisturiser and humectant, to an even greater extent than the well known skincare ingredient, hyaluronic acid.

We have received a wealth of positive feedback in our trials, from eczema, rosacea and psoriasis patients about the benefits of this cream. 

This product contains no added water and hence requires no artificial emulsifiers or surfactants, which are frequently cited in exacerbating skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Additionally, the absence of water makes this a very long-lasting product; a little goes a very long way. The absence of added water also enables the use of preservatives to be minimised and hence this kelp infused moisturising cream is free from potentially hormone disrupting additives such as parabens, present in the majority of commercially produced skincare preparations. 

The gentle, unique fragrance in our moisturising hand and body cream complements the natural, fresh aroma of the kelp and is created from a unique blend of essential oils, made from steam distilled flowers , plants and fruits. No synthetic parfums are added to this long lasting product, which is presented in a fully recyclable aluminium tin.
