While you probably associate seaweed as a tangy seasoning on many famous Asian dishes, many spa aficionados think of seaweed as a highly popular spa treatment ingredient.  Some of the most famous spa’s include many seaweed skin care treatments, including the Seaweed Mask available at the world-class Four Seasons Resort.  There are many seaweed body treatments available at other spa’s such as the Seaweed Body Wrap that is offered at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida. 

Seaweed is also a potent eye cream ingredient.  But what exactly does seaweed extract do for the skin underneath the eyes? 

Seaweed, like the high-powered cosmeceutical ingredient Haloxyl, works wonders on dark circles around the eyes.  It’s also very soothing upon application,and it works well on puffy eyes.  Seaweed extract is very refreshing, and many optometry insiders will agree that people who wear eyeglasses will feel a very refreshing feeling when they apply a seaweed extract eye cream after removing their eyeglasses.  The soothing, cool feeling comes from the skin being rejuvenated with the natural actives contained in the seaweed extract.  For this reason, many eye creams are using a high concentration of seaweed extract.

Asian history has brought us many of the world’s natural wonders.  Seaweed is another prime example of how the Asians have brought wellness to the modern world.
