What do Dr. Mehmet Oz and Kim Kardashian have in common? They both appreciate the benefits of Bladderwrack seaweed! In Touch magazine reports that Kim uses The Seaweed Bath Co. products to manage her psoriasis and Dr. Oz shared with his audience the benefits of nutrient-rich Bladderwrack seaweed in treating cellulite, obesity, dry skin, and arthritis. Brown bladderwrack seaweed is one of the top three ingredients in all of the products in The Seaweed Bath Co. line. We like it so much we even named the company after it! Of the three types of seaweed – brown, green, and red – the brown contains the highest concentration of minerals. These trace minerals detoxify, condition and soothe dry, irritated skin and help to diminish the symptoms of severely irritated skin without the chemicals and steroids often found in traditional remedies. Bladderwrack seaweed brings an alkalitic balance to the skin to reduce redness. It is also naturally high in iodine and fucoidan. Iodine is helpful in stimulating the thyroid and regulating bodily functions. Fucoidan also has many beneficial properties including its anti-inflammatory effects and dermal healing. At The Seaweed Bath Co., we sustainably hand-harvest the Bladderwrack seaweed and use it in its whole form, powderized form and as an extract in all of our Wildly Natural Seaweed products.
The Buzz on Bladderwrack
Meet the Team: Sophie Grossman

After serving an intensive nine month internship, Sophie joined us on January 17, 2012.

Sophie works closely with her mother, Allison, our Marketing Director, but also spends a lot of time with Adam, advising him on family matters.

NBC’s TODAY Show and The Seaweed Bath Co.
What a great way to start off the new year. The ladies of the popular fourth hour of NBC’s TODAY Show highlighted our Wildly Natural Seaweed Powder Baths during a segment Thursday where they got a little carried away in their presentation — much to the delight of themselves, the off-camera crew, and those of us here at The Seaweed Bath Co headquarters in Austin, Tx.
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotd host that celebrated fourth hour of the television in NBC’s morning lineup, and Thursday’s edition featured a segment about caring for dry flaking skin during the winter months. Touted as “Today’s Beauty Winter Skin Solutions,” the two hosts were joined by style and beauty expert Jenn Falik, the go-to source for the latest tips, trends and beauty products.
Jenn joined the TODAY Show hosts at a long table displaying a half dozen or so products designed to ward off winter beauty woes, and when they arrived at The Seaweed Bath Co., display, the beauty expert began describing our Wildly Natural Seaweed Powder Bath products.
She said that sometimes the only thing we want after a cold winter day is a hot bath; suggesting long soaks generally dry out the skin. But the moment Jenn mentioned a main ingredient in our product — bladderwrack seaweed — co-host Kathie Lee Gifford interrupted her presentation by saying, “Bladder rack?” When Jenn attempted to describe the seaweed, Kathie Lee looked into the camera with a grin and said, “I thought those were two separate things.”
The trio began giggling, then laughing and it was Jenn who recovered first, adding, Continue Reading →
Japanese University Study Confirms Health Benefits of Brown Seaweed
We here at The Seaweed Bath Co. have always espoused the health benefits of fucoidan extract (FE) found in brown seaweed, and now a leading university in Japan has determined that FE has the potential for therapeutic beneficial change and safety of disease treatments.
A recent study conducted by the Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, started off as an investigation of the anti-tumor properties of FE in human cancer cells. But the results proved optimistic that fucoidan can have a positive effect on the human body.
For years, I’ve been advocating the advantages of soaking in brown seaweed to rejuvenate the skin and metabolic system of those suffering skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Through Thalassotherapy and “seaweed soaks,” our customers have reported a reduction in skin conditions such as inflammation and lesions as well as the growth of healthy skin cells.
What we offer are products derived from bladderwrack seaweed, which contains fucoidan and iodine — two elements that are rich in essential amino acids, vitamins and nutrients that can stimulate the thyroid and both soften and sooth the skin. The Japanese fucoidan study shows that, as a natural compound with various actions, fucoidan extract is Continue Reading →

Product Profile: Wildly Natural Seaweed Argan Conditioners
Wildly Natural Seaweed Argan Conditioners
Just as our product line grows, so to do the types of blog posts we publish. What we intend to do in this particular post — and in future “product profile” posts here on the blog — is introduce you to the products we produce here at The Seaweed Bath Co.
First up is our Wildly Natural Seaweed Argan Conditioners, made of oils from the Argan tree, which grows only in Morocco. Because the Argan tree is endemic to that northern African nation, the oil produced from its kernels is among the rarest in the world.
In fact, a women’s cooperative that shares the profits among female members of the Berber tribe, produces all argan oil sold today. Years ago, these women used to grind and press the kernels by hand, but today the kernels are harvested and processed by machine, making the process more efficient and profitable for the women involved.
Argan oil is rich in vitamin E, phenols and phenolic acid, carotenes and squalene. As a result, it is sought throughout the world for its cosmetic properties as well as for nutrition and medicinal purposes.
Our Wildly Natural Seaweed Argan Conditioners came about as the result of nearly a half-year of research and development — including a number of Continue Reading →
