Harnessing the Ocean's Bounty: Sea-Inspired Ingredients for Innovative Skincare

Harnessing the Ocean's Bounty: Sea-Inspired Ingredients for Innovative Skincare

The ocean, covering over 70% of our planet, is a vast reservoir of life and resources. Its depths harbour a multitude of organisms that have adapted to thrive in diverse and often extreme conditions. These unique adaptations have made marine-derived ingredients increasingly popular in skincare formulations, offering a plethora of benefits for the skin.

At Incicellar, we’re passionate about providing indie beauty brands and formulators with unique, high-quality ingredients that inspire innovation. Among our curated selection, the Irish Moss & Sea Lavender Extract (Oil Soluble) is a standout, showcasing the incredible benefits of marine botanicals in skincare.

The Wonders of Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus)

Also known as Irish Moss, Chondrus crispus is a type of red algae packed with essential vitamins and minerals. This ‘wonder seaweed’ offers a range of skincare benefits:

  • Deep Hydration & Moisture Lock – Irish Moss is rich in polysaccharides, forming a protective layer on the skin to retain moisture and keep it hydrated.

  • Soothing & Calming – With natural anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to reduce redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

  • Anti-Ageing Support – High in antioxidants, it fights free radicals, helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Strength of Sea Lavender (Limonium vulgare)

Thriving in harsh coastal conditions, Sea Lavender has developed unique properties that translate into powerful skincare benefits:

  • Boosts Firmness & Elasticity – Rich in polyphenols, it supports collagen production, helping to improve skin resilience and smoothness.

  • Protects Against Environmental Stress – Its antioxidant properties defend the skin from pollution and UV damage, keeping it healthier for longer.

How to Use Irish Moss & Sea Lavender Extract in Formulations

Our oil-soluble blend combines these potent botanicals in sunflower seed oil, making it a versatile ingredient for various skincare applications:

  • Effortless Formulation – Its oil-soluble nature allows seamless integration into serums, balms, facial oils, and emulsions.

  • Recommended Usage – Add at 1.0% - 10.0% to bring hydrating, soothing, and anti-ageing properties to your products.
