Everything you need to know about nature’s power ingredient: Sea Whip 

What is Sea Whip? 

Derived from Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, a creature naturally found in coral reefs, Sea Whip extract is widely known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that shield the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It is an extremophile that can withstand extreme weather conditions and delivers the strongest soothing action of all sea plants. Its skin-soothing properties provide DNA repair enzymes that work to protect the skin’s overall structure thus reviving the luster of the skin and restoring its health. Numerous studies have validated this significant property of Sea Whip. One study, in particular, depicted the ability of Sea Whip to halt skin irritation via topical application at a 0.02 concentration. Furthermore, it has been proven effective for rosacea-prone skin as well.  

What are the benefits of Sea Whip for skin? 

1. Does your skin constantly feel tight, dry, flaky, and inflamed? For people with sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, finding a product that minimizes flare-ups can be a daunting task. This ocean-derived anti-inflammatory ingredient contains powerful soothing and healing properties that calm redness and sensitivity and are highly beneficial for those with sensitive or redness-prone skin. 
2. The anti-inflammatory properties of Sea Whip extract fight free radicals that are responsible for breaking down our skin’s collagen, resulting in dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin. As per a clinical study, topical application of Sea Whip extract even at low concentration is more potent than bisabolol (a plant extract from German chamomile used extensively in skin care for its soothing properties) in treating skin inflammation.
3. Sea Whip is a powerful healing agent that neutralizes natural enzymes which cause inflammation, irritation, skin sensitivity, sunburn, as well as the pain and swelling associated with acne.

Does Sea Whip suit all skin types?

Sea Whip is a sensitive skin-friendly ingredient that helps relieve chronic redness and discomfort in rosacea-prone skin. Nonetheless, this magical marine ingredient can be used by all skin types. It delivers protective enzymes to the skin to protect it against environmental damage, thus reducing sunburn, aging, and discomfort that can occur due to severe acne flare-ups.
