Innovation from the deep

Ashland has introduced SeaStem biofunctional technology to help skin self-renew and protect against the negative effects of environmental pollutants.

Using proprietary Zeta Fraction technology, Ashland captures the benefit of the whole living plant and refines the usability of the giant kelp, which has been called the “sequoia of the sea”
for its towering length and rapid growth.

“Our skin in day-to-day life is bombarded by pollution and other stress factors. Ashland’s
SeaStem, with inspiration from the ocean, helps protect our skin’s stem cells from this
pollution. This creates a defense that aids with hydration and supports the renewal of
the skin barrier, which helps us develop age-defying formulations,” said Joel Mantelin,
vice president, biofunctionals business development, Ashland.

The giant kelp is sustainably sourced and eco-harvested off the coast of California. The
Zeta Fraction process is solvent-free, consumes minimal energy and creates minimal
waste. Regeneration, nutrition and barrier functions are the three properties of the giant
kelp seaweed that inspired the development of SeaStem.
