Benefits

  • Micro-Pollutant Removal: Effectively draws out microscopic toxins & heavy metals from the pores.
  • Pore Refinement: Softens and minimises the appearance of pores through deep, non-comedogenic cleansing.
  • Inflammation Control: Calms active irritation and supports skin healing with potent anti-inflammatory botanicals.
  • Homeostatic Balance: Formulated to the skin's optimal pH to prevent the 'tight' feeling associated with traditional cleansers.
  • Microbiome Harmony: Functions as a prebiotic to restore the symbiotic environment of the skin’s natural flora.

1. Wild Harvested Cape Kelp (The Prebiotic Superfood)


Sustainably hand-harvested from the pristine, nutrient-dense waters of the southernmost tip of Africa. This exclusive marine botanical acts as a powerful prebiotic, nourishing the skin’s beneficial flora to ensure a resilient microbiome. Rich in radical-scavenging minerals & vitamins, it purifies and revitalises the skin at a cellular level.

2. Ancient African Oil Complex (Lipid Restoration)


A prestigious blend of Marula, Kalahari Melon, Moringa and Yangu oils. These 'Living Gold' extracts provide a surge of Omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9, ensuring that while impurities are drawn out, essential lipids are replenished. The result is a 'dewy-not-dry' finish.

3. Anti-Microbial Botanical Synergy


Infused with Buchu, African Immortelle and Kombo Butter, this cleanser possesses natural anti-bacterial properties to combat acne-causing bacteria.

A Dermal Superfood: The Phytochemical Profile
Cape Kelp is a concentrated mineral powerhouse, a Marine Prebiotic, balances the skin's microbiome and strengthens its natural defences.

  • The Vitamin Complex: A synergy of 25 vitamins - including A, B12, C, D, and E - working in concert to nourish, purify, and revitalise the skin's cellular matrix.
  • The Mineral Infusion: Rich in essential minerals absorbed directly from the sea, including Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium and Iodine. These elements are the building blocks of collagen formation and cellular repair.
  • Rare Bio-Actives: Infused with Fucoidan, Fucoxanthin and Phlorotannins - potent marine compounds that scavenge free radicals and neutralise the 'Inflammation Cascade' caused by urban pollution.

The Science: Patented ‘Cell Burst’ Technology
To ensure the absolute potency of Cape Kelp reaches your skin, we utilise a pioneering, South African-patented Cold Cell-Burst extraction method.

  • 99.9% Bio-Availability: Unlike traditional heat-based extractions that denature delicate nutrients, our mechanical process ruptures the kelp cells at a molecular level, suspending the entire phytochemical profile in its most functional form.
  • Thermal Integrity: By using a novel low-temperature drying technology, we keep the cell structure intact. This ensures that every enzyme, amino acid, and mineral remains biologically active for maximum dermal absorption.
  • Sustainable Purity: This revolutionary method uses no chemicals, produces zero waste, and utilises the whole plant - keeping your skincare free of fillers and as pure as the ocean itself.

How to Use

  • The Preparation: Shake well to activate the concentrated botanical oils.
  • The Cleanse: Massage a grape-sized amount onto damp skin using circular, upward motions. Watch as the gel transforms to dissolve impurities.
  • The Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • Pro Tip: For a deeper 'City-Detox', leave on for 60 seconds as a mini-mask before rinsing to allow the Cape Kelp minerals to fully penetrate the skin.
