What is our process?
We work on request for manufacturers of food, beverages, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and petceutics. Firstly, our clients show us their ideas for a new ingredient or product. After brainstorming, we order suitable seaweed species from our suppliers worldwide. In our lab, we design, customize, extract and test the envisioned bioactive seaweed ingredient. Alternatively, we offer ready made solutions. Lastly, we can produce larger units of the ingredient. |
What is our vision?
Under the ocean’s surfaces, a natural ingredient flows that is relatively undiscovered. It absorbs CO2 and cultivates rapidly. Worldwide, over 12.000 seaweed species exists in different shapes, pigments, and nutrients. In the scope of climate and resource crisis, we are enthusiastic about seaweed. We purchase from Namibia, Azores, Portugal, and other coasts. By adding science, we extract a sustainable and natural solution for humanity: seaweed ingredients. |
