Our vision
Our vision is to harness the power of the Sea to create sustainable and natural solutions for your everyday products. We believe that seaweed, with over 12,000 species worldwide, is an excellent source of bioactive compounds that can help us adapt to climate and resource crises. Seaweed absorbs CO2 and grows using only sunlight and minerals, making it an eco-friendly ingredient. At ISS, we source our seaweed from the Atlantic's unique coasts. By leveraging the most advanced blue biotech science, we extract seaweed ingredients that are both sustainable and natural. |
