Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

Best if you want to: Control shine and achieve a matte complexion with a light, oil-free cream that moisturizes your skin throughout the day.

How it works:

Community Trade bladderwack seaweed balances skin tone and clarifies the complexion.
Oil-balancing, time-release technology controls existing sebum.
Antioxidant Vitamin E moisturizes, nourishes and helps to protect skin against premature aging and environmental aggressors.

The Body Shop® difference: Our leave-on Seaweed products contain both wild-harvested Community Trade seaweed from Ireland and our adaptive, oil-balancing technology, so shiny zones are controlled all day and essential moisture is delivered to your skin where it needs it most. What’s more, our seaweed is sustainable and naturally grown without chemicals or fertilizers, making it an environmentally-sound choice.

Community Trade Information

We use Bladderwack seaweed from The Roaring Water Bay co-operative, south west of Cork, Ireland. Set up in 1993 to address the problem so many communities face where local young people have to emigrate to find work, this co-operative protects the local environment and invests profits back into the local community.
