Seaweed: The Best Ingredient in Sheet Masks Seaweed  is known as a complete and natural source for skin care.  The seaweed plant has no roots so it feeds through osmosis, absorbing minerals and vitamins from the seawater. Because of its feeding process, seaweed becomes a dense concentration of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, macro elements, phytohormones and amino acids.  Certain species of seaweed have been found to be particularly beneficial: Laminaria Digitata & Ascophyllum Nodosum Extracts: Laminaria Digitata and Ascophyllum Nosodum seaweed filtrates contain all the rich phyto-nutrients in their most potent form.  Each of these seaweeds contains 12 vitamins, 42 minerals and trace elements, and 18 amino acids to help skin look hydrated, restored, renewed and radiant. Carrageenan: Derived from red algae known as Irish Moss (Chondrus Crispus), Carrageenan is known to have excellent emollient properties. Enteromorpha Compressa: Green sheet and tubular seaweed that is known to help skin feel more soothed. How to Choose a Sheet Mask Some sheet masks are beneficial for all skin types, while some will help target specific skin concerns like uneven skin tone, sensitive skin, or fine lines and wrinkles.
