Review of Seavite Super Nutrient Face Products

You must be hiding under a rock if you have not heard of the Seavite brand as it has pretty well got iconic status now. I have not used them before, but was delighted to be gifted some products to try them for myself.

Originally the brand was developed by Patrick Mulrooney in the 1990s to help treat his daughters’ eczema.

He believed that the ocean was a source of healing and regenerative ingredients just waiting to be harnessed and saw how living near it seemed to soothe his daughters’ skin. By combining pure botanicals and nutrient-rich Irish SEAWEED he formulated the Seavite range.

He was not wrong.

FACTS

  1. Seaweed can be a good source of iodine, which contributes to normal skin, and also has includes zinc, omega-3 fatty acids and selenium elements important for healthy skin.
  2. It helps with pigmentation.
  3. It is clinically proven that certain seaweed elements can protect your skin from free radical attacks that may accelerate ageing.
  4. Certain seaweed extracts may be able to re-organise the cell membrane structure and restore them, making your skin look much healthier.

SEAVITE RE-IMAGINED

Years later in 2015, his daughters Katherine and Jane, medical doctors with Masters in Clinical Dermatology, re-formulated the range using scientific developments and proven anti-ageing ingredients, but staying true to the brand’s core values.

The new Super Nutrient range is so called due to the addition of clinically-proven, new organic seaweed extracts to all face and body products. These extracts are medical grade extracts, derived from the purest and most potent seaweed, marine extracts and botanicals.

While the formulas still centre around bolstering skin strength, calming inflammation and slowing down the signs of ageing, they are suitable for all skin types. But they are particularly loved by anyone with skin concerns such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and adult onset acne.

I have no issues with rosacea or sensitivity, just lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, but I really enjoyed using the products.

CLEANSER

The Seavite Super Nutrient Comfort Cleanser comes with a muslin cloth and I single cleanse in the morning and double cleanse at night. Sometimes I use coconut oil first and then the Seavite cleanser. It is a very gentle, calming, yet effective cleanser.

 

SERUM

Most of us realise now the importance of using a good serum, a serum that is right for you. A serum should be applied after cleansing and before moisturising. And it is even more effective following a shower, when the skin is more receptive. I have used numerous serums in recent years and I am very impressed with this.

We are talking about a highly concentrated liquid containing a big dose of nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants.

Seavite Serum contains some big players among other ingredients such as:

  • Natural hyaluronic acid (I am a huge fan)
  • Vitamins C and E
  • Quince extracts
  • and powerful amino acids to boost cell renewal and strengthen the skin barrier.

 Super Nutrient Replenishing Creme

Again, this cream is packed full of good stuff such as nourishing plant oils, seaweed extracts and amino acids. It can be used morning and evening.

MY OPINION

  • It is difficult not to be impressed with the range. I like the fact that there are no parabens, mineral oils, skin irritants or hidden nasties.
  • I love the natural organic seaweed included in all products.
  • I like their scientific approach to skincare

They have taken their father’s original products not one step but several steps further. As I said earlier, I do not have overly sensitive skin, nor do I have rosacea or eczema, but I did find the serum and cream super-hydrating. My skin looks radiant and feels supple.

Seavite is in the mid-price range and not expensive considering the ingredients. Check out their website for more information.

Seavite super nutrient products

Inspired by Seavite and all I have learned about seaweed in my research, I have taken to bringing seaweed home from our local beach and soaking my legs in it.  I am not brave enough to swim, but I have been walking in the sea too. It definitely helps with my circulation issues with which I have been plagued recently.

 

The products are GIFTED but my opinions are all my own!

Thanks for reading.

    You’ve got some great information here, Hilda! The Seavite products really sound intriguing. I especially like the fact that they focus on natural ingredients, which I’m trying to be more conscientious about when I choose products these days. I’m also intrigued by the seaweed leg soaks you’ve been trying … I live near the ocean, myself, so I’m thinking this might be something I should try!

    Lovely review, Hilda. This line sounds fabulous! I purchased a seaweed-based serum on our cruise ship and am loving it! Xx

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Go check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash to see what they wear when they are out and about.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
