We recommend adding Seaweed Extract to the final formulation when the temperatures are below 40°C to ensure the ingredient's efficacy. Seaweed extract is oil soluble.
Experiments
The Seaweed used for Seaweed Extract is mainly collected in France. If necessary, the Seaweed is dried, chopped, extracted with isopropyl alcohol, and filtrated. The filtrate, concentrated by distillation, completely removes the isopropyl alcohol. The concentrated extract is prepared in neutral oil and clear filtrated after an individual ripening time. Seaweed is traditionally used to treat obesity, rheumatism and cellulite treatment. Commonly Seaweed is associated with fat reduction products and is found in sun and after sun products.
