Seaweed Description
Group of sea plants (scientific name: algae) of all sizes and shapes, and having a gelatin-like consistency. Many seaweeds have antioxidant and skin-soothing properties, but many other claims of benefits are not proven or only apply to the plant as it exists in its natural environment, not mixed into a cosmetic product.
Peer-reviewed, substantiated scientific research is used to assess ingredients in this dictionary. Regulations regarding usage constraints, permitted concentration levels and availability vary by country and region.
