Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus Extract) is a type of brown seaweed found along rocky coastlines, has gained significant recognition for its exceptional properties in skincare. Rich in essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, bladderwrack offers a range of benefits that contribute to healthy, radiant skin. Its high iodine content assists in maintaining optimal thyroid function, which plays a vital role in regulating the skin's overall health.

Bladderwrack contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds that help soothe irritation and redness, making it an excellent choice for sensitive or reactive skin types. Its ability to hydrate and moisturise the skin is attributed to its natural polysaccharide content, promoting improved skin texture and a youthful appearance.

Bladderwrack's valuable nutrients make it a sought-after ingredient in various skincare products, such as creams, serums, and masks, offering users a holistic approach to nourishing and revitalising their skin.

The addition of Bladderwrack powder to shower creams, soaps, bath salts, and facial scrubs serves as an active antioxidant and detoxifier due to its abundance of minerals that act as a barrier against hazardous external agents and also aids in eliminating toxins. Furthermore, Fucus vesiculosus extract possesses hydrating qualities, when applied externally it retains moisture levels and keeps the skin smooth and youthful.

Nevertheless, the main factor behind the success of Bladderwrack is its capability of increasing the production of collagen. Studies reveal that when incorporated in skincare products, Fucus Vesiculosus extract enhances collagen production by an impressive 228%, higher than that of retinol, which stands at 190%. It has also been found to reduce wrinkle depth, correct small flaws, and boost skin texture, even though its method of action has not been exhaustively examined, however scientists believe that the extract restricts certain enzymes that are responsible for damaging the skin.

This extract has a high degree of water solubility as supplied but it will produce a cloudy-ish brown solution indicative of the fact that the extract won’t fully solubilise. We recommend, in most situations, to prepare your herb into demineralised water and then filter out any residue before adding it to your product.

Badderwrack is four times more potent than fresh lavender so to create a single strength liquid extract you would add 25g of herb to 75g of water and then filter it. You could use that water as-is in your formula (so as your water phase) or you could take that single strength liquid and add it into your formula at any percentage. Bladderwrack is a safe extract and can be used in any proportion depending on your product aspirations.
