Intensive Restorative Night Cream by Seaflora: A Seaweed-Based Formula That Prioritizes Repair and Barrier Health

Most night creams rely on water as a base and synthetic actives for results. Seaflora takes a different route. The Intensive Restorative Night Cream, crafted with 65% organic Pyropia red algae, was developed by a family of marine biologists who wanted something both effective and nutrient-rich. Entered in the Face Cream category of the 10th Clean Beauty Awards, it offers a topical approach to hydration, elasticity, and repair using one of the ocean’s most concentrated natural ingredients.

Designed initially for spa use, it combines luxury with science, offering a proprietary formula that outperforms standard private-label options.

The result is a night cream that not only rejuvenates your skin but also embodies Seaflora's commitment to organic, effective skincare that does no harm.

Pyropia, comprising 65% of the Intensive Restorative Night Cream, is a remarkable red algae packed with Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs) that provide natural UV protection and prevent photoaging. Its rich antioxidant profile combats free radicals, protecting skin from environmental stressors while promoting collagen synthesis for improved elasticity. The algae deeply hydrates by retaining moisture, preventing skin dehydration and maintaining a plump, smooth texture. Its potent nutrients support skin resilience, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing overall skin health. Pyropia's soothing properties make it an exceptional ingredient for supporting skin's natural regeneration process. We add an active amount of CoQ10 which prevents skin thinning by supporting collagen production and reducing oxidative stress as we age. Malic acid from BC radishes and apples gently exfoliates and brightens the complexion, while Hyaluronic Acid plumps out fine lines for a rejuvenated appearance.
