Folic Acid

Typical mineral components of seaweed:

Instructions for use:
Seaweed powder is not completely water soluble so while it is possible to add it into a cream or shampoo in its powdered form we recommend you filter it into water then add the filtrate to reduce potential micro risk.
0.1-5% is sufficient.
*Avoid over-heating as heat destroys the amino acids and will reduce the activity of the seaweed powder.
Avoid high or low pH - pH 4-5.5 is ideal.
NOTE: As you might expect, seaweed powder has a sulphur like aroma that can smell a little fishy. It is not over-powering but at high levels you might be able to detect it in fragrance-free products.
