Are your products certified organic?
Our products contain 70 – 94 per cent certified organic ingredients. As a vertically integrated company, we harvest all of our own seaweeds and ocean mud which are certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) under United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Canadian Organic Regime (COR). Please visit www.sea-flora.com to view our certificates. Our promise to you is that Seaflora skincare does not contain artificial colours or fragrances, genetically modified ingredients, petro-chemicals, parabens, animal derived ingredients or sodium lauryl sulphate.
What is the shelf life of your products?
Our products last for 18 months after purchase unopened and one year after opening.
Do you use parabens as a preservative in your products?
We do not use any parabens of any kind in Seaflora products.
I am allergic to shellfish may I use Seaflora products?
There's no causative link between seafood and seaweed so those with an allergy to shellfish may use seaweed-based skincare products. If you have an allergy to specific compounds within shellish, please contact us and we will verify whether or not that compound is contained in our products.
Why does my skin tingle after applying Seaflora masques or facial exfoliants?
As seaweeds penetrate you may feel some activity on your face. This is due to the high concentration of vitamins and minerals that help detoxify your skin.
Do your products contain ingredients made with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)?
We proudly do not use any ingredients in our products that are genetically modified. A few of our products contain soy and corn derived ingredients which are 100% GMO-free.
Are your products tested on animals?
Seaflora does not believe in animal testing. We do not and never will use animals to test our products. In addition to respecting the safety and humanity of animals, we are advocates of the environment and leaders in sustainable business practices.
Do you offer free samples?
We offer free samples in every order placed on www.seafloraonline.com! If you would like to sample our products before purchasing, please email us at info@sea-flora.com and include your location. We will send you a list of spas in your area where you may experience Seaflora.
Why do some of your products vary in colour?
The colour of seaweeds varies depending on the time and location of the seaweed harvested. We do not use any synthetic dyes to cover up any color variations within our formulations.
Why do some of the products contain sediment?
Rather than 'sediment', it's actually seaweed fibre. We manufacture our products from certified organic whole seaweed. This nutrient-rich organic base is created from whole, hand-harvested seaweed to ensure that they sustain their essential nutrients. In our body products, this fibre is visible. In some of our facial products, this seaweed "sediment or fibre may seep through during the final filtration process.
Are Seaflora products safe during pregnancy?
Skincare during pregnancy is really essential and Seaflora's products are completely safe for use during this time and during nursing.
I have recently had plastic surgery, how long before I can use your products?
Please contact us directly at info@sea-flora.com. Explain the nature of your surgery and please include your location so that we may refer you to a Seaflora spa near you where you can discuss a post-surgery skincare regimen.
