SEAFLORA SKINCARE VS THE COMPETITION

 

 

At Seaflora, we are passionate about harnessing the power of the ocean to create skincare products that are truly nourishing and effective. That’s why our main ingredient is always seaweed – wild, raw, organic, and sustainably harvested from the clean cold Pacific off Vancouver Island. Cruelty free, vegan options, and eco friendly, we are proud to be a climate positive Canadian company.

 

 

Unlike most, if not all of our competitors, who use water or oil as their main ingredient because they are profit-driven, we are committed to using only the best natural ingredients that offer real benefits for the skin. Seaweed is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help to hydrate, soothe, and rejuvenate the skin, and we believe that using it in its purest, most natural form is the key to unlocking its full potential.

 

 

We take great care in sourcing our seaweed from the cleanest, most sustainable sources off the coast of Vancouver Island. Our seaweed is never bleached or powdered – it is simply hand-harvested and carefully processed to preserve its natural nutrients and properties.

 

 

Some of our competitors may use seaweed as a marketing ingredient, but at Seaflora, it is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that by using the purest, most potent seaweed in our products, we can offer our customers skincare that is truly transformative – promoting healthy, radiant, and youthful-looking skin, without compromising on quality or ethics.

 

 

Seaflora’s seaweed-based products, being food-grade, organic, and hypoallergenic, are designed to be gentle and nourishing for the skin. These products are certainly less likely to cause skin irritation compared to products that contain harsh chemicals, toxins, alcohol, or petrochemicals.
