A mixture of an
aqueous solution, essential oils and mechanically extracted Phaeophyte
kelp cytoplasm results in an
emulsion with cosmetic and therapeutic properties. The preparation may be used on human and
animal hair or
skin. The moisturizing properties of the
kelp cytoplasm provide the
aqueous solution to the hair (
keratin) which is absorbed, causing the hair to swell, and become heavier and more pliable. The natural oxidation agent preserves the mixture as well as providing a fresh
oxygen in a spray when used. The alginate gels and oils in the
emulsion coat the hair strands to reduce breakage and splitting and add weight to the strand. The preparation dries with gel capsules, which release
moisture over time for a long-lasting effect. The preparation also contains, and may be supplemented with fuciodans,
iodine, phlorotannins which reduce
inflammation, prevent scaly
skin, and act as an antibiotic, respectively, on dry chapped
skin. The preparation seals off the cracks from the environment while
trapping moisture pockets. This provides an environment conducive for healing.
