What is seaweed oil?

A natural and sustainable manufacturing process

Our seaweed oil is the fruit of artisanal know-how and respect for the environment.

Hand-harvested by our supplier Bretalg with respect for marine ecosystems, the seaweed used in our oil - particularly sea lettuce - is certified ORGANIC and comes from the Brittany coast. This careful harvesting guarantees a high-quality raw material from local plant production, without GMOs or pesticides.

From these seaweeds, we produce our seaweed oil using a natural manufacturing process. Organic sea lettuce and basil are infused in grapeseed oil, using environmentally-friendly artisanal techniques. This innovative recipe sublimates the marine and vegetal notes of seaweed, while preserving their aromatic and nutritional virtues.

The result: a sustainable, ethical vegetable oil enriched with omega 6. An ecological and tasty alternative, designed to combine taste pleasure with environmental commitment.

  • A highly fragrant oil with the iodized taste of seaweed combined with the freshness of basil
