Icelandic Kelp
Grown using organic
methods
Botanical Name Laminaria
digitata
Benefits Icelandic
Kelp
helps
exfoliate, cleanse and detoxify. It also can smooth, tone the skin, gently
hydrate and re-mineralize. Seawater contains all the
essential minerals for sustaining our lives in the same ratios as in the human
blood stream. Perhaps this is why the sea is described as our Mother! The
most valuable kelps grow in clean, cold, mineral-rich waters. These kelps
collect minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other beneficial bioactive
properties. Icelandic Kelp is a
great source of alginic acid, laminarin, polysaccharides and polyphenols, along
with Vitamin A, B2, B3, C, D and E.
Notes Our Icelandic Kelp is produced in a certified organic area of the Breidafjord
in northwest Iceland, near the Arctic Circle, where conditions are perfect for
the growth of spectacular kelps. The site is one of the cleanest and
most pristine places on Earth and the environment is closely protected. The
waters of the fjord are richly mineralized by many geothermal hot springs supplying deep earth minerals, by glacial milch
rivers and by the nearby upsurge from the meeting of Arctic and Gulf currents. Selected kelps are fresh cut
from managed beds using sustainable harvest methods that protect the
biodiversity of the fjord. Only a small percentage of the annual new
growth is harvested each year. The kelp is immediately brought to the
dryer, near the harvest area. The kelp is dried at controlled low temperatures,
protecting its biological values and preventing surface oxidation or
browning. The dryer is powered by the local renewable resource of
geothermal hot water.
