Seaweed Scientist + Conservationist = Algaee Cosmetics

From the lab to your bathroom shelf

Welcome to my story! I am seaweed researcher and the founder of Algaee Cosmetics. My journey started with Laminaria kelp in my undergrad, deepened through connections with seaweed farmers in Kenya, and turned into a full obsession during my Masters when I started formulating seaweed sunscreens in my kitchen (my flatmates can confirm - the house stank).

After training at the Personal Academy for Cosmetic Formulation and years of experimentation, I finally launched Algaee during my PhD. Every product reflects that journey: science-backed formulations rooted in years of research and a genuine passion for what seaweed can do for skin.

Why seaweed?

Seaweed is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that your skin loves. It deeply hydrates, protects from environmental damage, brightens skin tone, and soothes inflammation. As a researcher, I knew I could harness this ocean magic to create something special.

The Algaee difference

Every Algaee product is formulated with the same rigour I bring to my research. I use gentle, natural ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. No harsh chemicals. No greenwashing. Just honest, effective skincare rooted in marine science.

All products are:

  • 100% cruelty-free

  • Made with natural, sustainable ingredients

  • Science-backed and researcher-formulated

  • Created in small batches with care

  • UK-made

My promise to you

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated or harsh to work. Whether you're new to skincare or a seasoned enthusiast, Algaee products are designed to make your skin feel clean, comfortable, and cared for - never tight, never stripped.

From my research to your routine, welcome to conscious beauty that actually works.
