What Is Sea Whip Extract?
Sea whip extract is backed by numerous studies validating its significant soothing properties. One study in particular showed it had the ability to halt irritation preventatively via topical application at a 0.02% concentration.
While all skin types can benefit from this, it has been proven to be especially helpful for those with sensitive or redness-prone skin and is even suitable for skin prone to rosacea.
