Did you know you could make lotion and body butter with seaweed? It’s the mermaid secret to soft, smooth, healthy skin! You’ll love our homemade body lotion recipes made with Bladderwrack and Irish Moss powder.
Seaweed helps with skin renewal by drawing out dirt, oils, and toxins. Using seaweed in your body butter also adds healthy nutrients like protein, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants back into your skin. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating circulation and replenishing skin moisture.
We are excited for you to enjoy and feel all the benefits of our DIY recipes!
