Active Elements of the Ocean

Why are Ocean Rescue products different? Everything we make uses elements of the ocean – seaweeds, algae, botanicals, nutrients, and even the water – to create unique and effective products. The ingredients are natural and sustainable resources. Our seaweed is carefully harvested from the cold, clean waters of the Atlantic by certified suppliers in Brittany, Canada, and Iceland.

MARINE ALGAE AND SEAWEED

First, let’s talk about algae and seaweed. Why two different words for the same thing? The difference is quite simple. Algae is Latin for seaweed, or more correctly, Alga.

When it is dissolved, it is easily able to penetrate the skin’s surface which is why it is so popular when used for that purpose.

Just about all the natural elements in the periodic table make up the trace elements, so to make this section readable, we’ll stick to ones we believe are most important to the healthy role they play in the functioning of our body.
