Sea Whip Extract

Sea Whip Extract Description

Sea whip extract is backed by numerous studies validating its significant soothing properties. One study in particular showed it had the ability to halt irritation preventatively via topical application at a 0.02% concentration. While all skin types can benefit from this, it has been proven to be especially helpful for those with sensitive or redness-prone skin and is even suitable for skin prone to rosacea.

Sea whip extract is derived from Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, which is known as a “soft coral” (it does not produce a solid calcium carbonate skeleton like hard corals do). You can find _Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae_ in the Bahamas, Colombia, the Florida Keys, as well as some other coral reef areas. Harvesting for commercial purposes is tightly controlled to ensure sustainable growth.
