Alaskë's Skincare's proprietary Akelogy™ blend of seaweed glycans and bioactives shields your skin for a radiant, healthy complexion:
- Seaweed's potent antioxidants provide a protective barrier against harmful environmental stressors
- Fucoidan, our bioactive glycan, is under research for its potential in promoting cellular regeneration ⁴
- Alginate glycan is a molecular sponge, holding onto water to keep skin hydrated for longer ⁵
Alaskë shines with our commitment to sourcing wild Alaskan seaweed and eco-conscious manufacturing practices:
- Pure mountain spring water, sourced within a glacial valley, revitalizes without added chlorine
- Our seaweed packaging, crafted locally, minimizes our environmental impact and fully biodegrades post-use
- Produced using renewable hydroelectric power sourced from Southeast Alaska's plentiful rainfall
Sea for yourself.
