You can bring your own container if you are picking it up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume.

Appearance: Olive to green-coloured powder with a strong pungent odour.
Benefits: Seaweed Powder is a rich source of vitamins including vitamins B12 (not found in land plants), vitamin E, amino acids, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients. Seaweed powder makes for an effective cleansing and exfoliating agent. When applied to the skin, Seaweed treatments act as a powerful purifier that draws out impurities while imparting benefits to the skin. It helps to slough off dead skin cells from the surface of the skin which gives the skin a healthy, revitalized, and glowing appearance. Seaweed contains fatty acids, which makes it suitable for use on irritated skin as it will help retain skin's moisture levels and alleviate chapping, cracking and roughness caused by dryness of the skin. It can also be used on oily and acne-prone skin. Seaweed Powder is suitable for all skin types.
Application: Organic Seaweed Powder can be used in face masks, body wraps, soap making, body scrubs and bath powders.
Caution: Persons with an allergy to iodine should avoid using this product. This powder has a strong pungent odour that some may find offensive, so test the product before using it.
