DESCRIPTION: Seaweed gel is an extract of Phaeophyta seaweed in water. It is a natural polysaccharide that has moisture-binding and healing properties on the skin. It contains mannuronic acid and beta-glucan, giving it both conditioning and humectant properties. The gel extract is soft to the touch and gives a very pleasant silky smooth feel on the skin without being sticky or tacky.
