Ingredients
We offer a wide range of natural ingredients that can be incoporated in every type of treatment.
Seaweeds
Seaweeds are mainly hand-collected by our "Goémoniers" (local seaweed harvesters) on the foreshore at low tide. They are then brought to the premises, washed, dried and sieved within 24 hours.
Seaweeds can then be micronized to increase their efficiency by releasing their minerals and other actives.
According to its composition, each species is different and will be used for specific applications: slimming, remineralizing, toning and detoxifying...
Algalithe® (Lithothamnium calcareum)
Lithothamnium Calcareum is a red seaweed belonging to the family Corallinaceae. Its thallus is shaped like a miniature tree several centimetres long with branches of a few millimetres, so that it resembles a coral. In Brittany it grows on sandy seabeds at a depth of about thirty metres. It grows extremely slowly, giving it time to filter and absorb large quantities of nutrients from the sea, especially calcium and magnesium, which it is able to retain because of its great porousness. It can form reefs several centuries old.
Algovert®
Laminaria digitata (kelp) is a brown seaweed belonging to the order Laminariales. It is one of the largest seaweeds occurring on Brittany coasts.
Its glossy brown thallus can reach 3 to 4 m in length. It has a cylindrical, smooth, flexible stem called a stipe and a thallus divided into laminae. This thallus is fixed by a holdfast to the rocks near or below the low tide level down to a depth of 10 m.. This type of seaweed is considered to be the anatomically most advanced.
One of the specialities of the kelps is their high concentration of extractable alginates, which give them their flexibility allowing them to withstand the pounding of the waves.
Ao Nori
Ao Nori is green seaweeds belonging to the order Ulvales. This seaweed, that is sometimes called Hollow Green Weed in English, includes several commercially exploited similar-looking species. The thallus is tubular and flattened in shape and more or less branched, or sometimes in the form of a simple ribbon of variable width but usually rather constant for a given individual.
These are short-lived seaweeds that appear especially in spring. They occur in all types of habitats, in exposed or sheltered conditions and on rocks or on gravel.
Ascopharm® (Ascophyllum nodosum)
Ascophyllum nodosum is a brown seaweed belonging to the order Fucales. It grows on rocks at about the mid intertidal level in exposed areas, where it replaces Fucus that prefers calmer waters. The brownish-green thalli grow in tufts, each of them composed of strapshaped fronds of different ages all growing from a common holdfast base. These thick flattened straps can reach a length of 1 to 1.5 m and have nodes at intervals along their length with air bladders that serve as floats so that the plant can stand upright in the water. They are irregularly branched with short lateral branches. The age of the seaweed can be deduced from the number of nodes - they can often live for more than fifteen years.
Chlorella
Chlorella is a microscopic unicellular alga measuring about 5 μm across. It occurs in warm freshwaters throughout the world. The alga contains an exceptional growth factor that enables it to divide and reproduce very quickly. It forms part of the phytoplankton - the very basis of the aquatic food chain that is the basis for life on Earth.
Dulse
Dulse, Palmaria palmata, is a red seaweed belonging to the order Palmariales. It has a more or less palmate frond shape, from which it derives its name. The reddishbrown blade has a thallus that is dichotomously divided into strips 2 to 3 cm wide and up to 50 cm long. It is attached by a basal disc-shaped holdfast and grows in the intertidal zone on rocky substrates, up to the high water mark where it occurs as an epiphyte growing especially on Laminaria hyperborea.
Fucopharm® (Fucus vesiculosus)
Fucus vesiculosus is a brown alga belonging to the order Fucales. It grows on rocky shores where it is exposed at low tide. Its flattened thallus, a few tens of centimetres long, is dichotomously branched. Either side of the midrib it bears bladders filled with air - hence its name - that serve as floats so that that it stands vertically in the water. During the reproductive season, the thallus stops growing and conceptacles form at the tips, which then release the gametes.
Haricot de mer®
Himanthalia elongata is a brown seaweed of the order Fucales. It is solidly fastened to its substrate by a disc-shaped holdfast with a stalk and grows in the form of two thick ribbons that can reach a length of 2 to 3 metres. It is an annual species that disappears at the end of summer after the two ribbons have completed their reproduction. Growth then starts again in early winter with the formation of new shoots. Flourishing at the low tide limit, Himanthalia elongata is said to be infralittoral.
Sea Lettuce
Ulva lactuca, called Aosa in Japan, is a green seaweed belonging to the order Ulvales. It occurs in the form of thin crinkled leaves sometimes rolled into a spiral, with a maximum length of 30 cm. The very thin blade, consisting of a double layer of cells, is fixed to the substrate by a disc to which it is connected by a very short stipe. Despite its thinness it is surprisingly resistant to tearing because of its high content of elastic fibres. Ulva lactuca occurs in a wide range of habitats, both sheltered and exposed, from the shore to far out at sea. The frond shrinks in winter, then grows again in spring. The green colour also changes with the seasons, changing from very light to dark green.
Chondrus Crispus
Chondrus cripus, Irish Moss or Chondrus crispus is a red seaweed. Irish moss owes its cosmetic qualities to its carrageenan content. Its moisturising properties make it very pleasant to apply. Irish moss is therefore in the formulation of creams, masks and wrappings. Irish moss's gelling and texturing properties are made use of in the manufacture of cosmetic products such as shampoos and emulsions. Finally when ground to the T10 size, Chondrus cripus is valuable for exfoliating purposes in products such as exfoliating and moisturising massage soaps.
Nori (Porphyra umbilicalis)
Porphyra is a red alga belonging to the order Bangiales. Its scientific name simply comes from the word for the colour purple. In terms of structure it has an extremely thin frond, thinner even than sea lettuce since it consists of a single layer of cells. This frond can reach a length of 60 cm. It grows on rocks in exposed wave-beaten coastal areas in the mid intertidal zone. It has a short lifespan, but because is reproduces quickly it can be found almost throughout the year.
Salade de la Mer®
The queen of the Algues Gastronomes®, Salade de la Mer® is an unique product. This recipe is a balanced blend of Dulse, Sea lettuce and Nori. The design of this concentrated blend on these three seaweeds, each in precise proportions, thereby letting each of them express their flavours and bring out their own respective colours (red, green and black).
Spirulina
Spirulina is a blue-green alga now classified in the Cyanobacteria. It is a microscopic unicellular alga with a spiral shape 250 μm long and an intense blue-green colour. It grows wild in tropical and subtropical inland water bodies. Micro-algae such as Spirulina constitute the phytoplankton, which is the basis of the aquatic food chain. They are therefore essential for all life on earth.
Wakame
Undaria pinnatifida is a large brown seaweed belonging to the order Laminariales. This seaweed attaches to rocks by a hapteron (holdfast). The stipe is flattened with dentate margins that turn into lobe-like projections. The blade is a translucent green colour, triangular and lobed, with a pronounced midrib. It grows in shallow water but can grow to a length of 2 to 3 m. It originated from Japan, and then arrived in the Mediterranean from where it has now spread to Brittany.

Fucus Dry Extract
Fucus vesiculosus is a brown algae from the Fucales family. It grows on rocks which are uncovered at low tide. Its flattened thallus, which measures a few dozen centimetres, branches out at random. It has air bladders around its central nervous system, full of air - giving it its name - which enable it to float and maintain a hold in the water. During its reproduction period the thallus stops growing to conceptacles at its end which will release gametes.
Lamivert® (Laminaria digitata) Aqueous Extract
The Lamivert® (Laminaria digitata) Aqueous Extract is a 100% natural product, used for different types of applications.
Its main interest is its high solubility in water which allows its incorporation in different liquid formulation.
Halophytes (marine plants)
Halophytes are marine plants that naturally grows in saline environment such as seashores, coastal dunes, rock crevices, salty marshes... They are covered at high tide or showered by spindrift. One of their qualities resides in the fact that they have a natural ability to resist harsh conditions such as being exposed to seawater spray, wind and salty soils.
We offer you Halophytes collected from its 20 ha cultivated field located in the west part to Brittany. The cultivation of marine plants helps preserve the environment’s biodiversity and control the genetics in order to constantly supply optimum quality products.

Clays
Clay is a sedimentary rock of the silicates family, which results from the decomposition of "feldspars" (a group of minerals). Its properties and colour are derived from the numerous minerals (including silica, aluminium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, magnesium, etc...) which are present in various proportions. Therefore, clay can be green, white, red, yellow, pink, blue, etc…
Muds
The mud that we harvest comes from Marine Parks or Natura 2000 sites on the Brittany coasts that are protected for the diversity of species they contain or for the quality of their waters. It is composed of extremely fine, naturally micronised, particles, which have been deposited on the seabed over the centuries. The interstitial seawater also contains a quantity of marine minerals, making the sediments even richer and giving them much greater therapeutic properties than simple clays.
Oyster Shell Powder
The Brittany oyster is undoubtedly one of the noblest shellfish in the world. Bathed by the invigorating waters of the Atlantic Ocean, with its rich mineral and plankton resources, it is of the highest possible quality. This quality is found in the oyster's shell. By finely and continuously filtering the seawater that is constantly being replaced in its habitat, the oyster shell can absorb great quantities of minerals.
We keep intact all these minerals stored in the oyster shell by an appropriate treatment.
Seawater filtered
