WHAT IS SARGASSUM?
Sargassum seaweed is the “weed” of the ocean, and is so abundant, it can be seen from outer space. Massive quantities of sargassum wash on shore in beach communities, rotting and releasing methane emissions. This not only makes for a stinky beach experience, it is a significant contributor to global warming. In fact, 20 Megatons of Sargassum wash up on beaches in the Caribbean yearly, resulting in:
- 8.4 megatons of CO2e emitted per year
- 30-35% decline in tourism in Quintana Roo, Mexico, alone
- Biodiversity loss and degradation of beach ecosystems
Carbonwave is dedicated to minimizing the impact Sargassum seaweed has on the beaches, which are vital to local economies. For every ton of seaweed used, 450 kg of CO₂e is saved from entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
HOW IT'S MADE
Carbonwave works with local communities in Mexico to collect the seaweed as it makes landfall. The biomass is collected before it decomposes and releases stinky methane emissions. It’s gently rinsed, dried and transported to Puerto Rico, where Carbonwave’s proprietary process extracts the emulsifying components from the sargassum to produce SeaBalance 2000.

How to Use1. Shake the serum gently before each use to disperse the shimmer particles evenly.
2. Apply a small amount of the golden shimmer serum to your face or body, depending on your preference. 3. Enjoy the luminous and radiant glow that the golden shimmer serum imparts to your skin. As with any skincare product, it's always a good idea to do a patch test before using the serum on a larger area of your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies to any of the ingredients. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. |
