Core Ingredients in Every ishga Marine Cream
Fucus Serratus Seaweed Extract
At the heart of every Marine Cream is our signature Hebridean seaweed extract. Rich in antioxidant polyphenols, it protects the skin from environmental stressors by neutralising free radicals. This powerhouse ingredient supports collagen production, encourages hyaluronic acid synthesis, and delivers long-lasting hydration.
Research shows that fucus serratus helps block the activity of hyaluronidase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down hyaluronic acid in the skin. By slowing this process, the extract helps reduce signs of ageing and keeps the skin looking plump and healthy.
Hebridean Spring Water
We never use tap water in our formulations. Instead, we source mineral-rich healing spring water and sea water from the Isle of Lewis. Naturally infused with potassium, magnesium, and other skin-loving minerals, Hebridean water boosts hydration and supports overall skin vitality.
