Results-driven skincare from the ocean, backed by science
Discover the power of organic seaweed skincare.
The name ishga is derived from the Gaelic word for water. The pure, clean waters of the Hebridean Islands off the north west coast of Scotland are home to ishga, and where we sustainably hand harvest the four types of seaweed that are at the heart of our organic skincare range. Hebridean seaweed contains potent natural antioxidants with properties which transform and protect skin. ishga has developed a bespoke process to extract its natural goodness, harnessing an abundance of vitamins and bioactive minerals to create a remarkable range of high performing products that deliver efficacy for all skin types.
Benefits of Organic Seaweed Skincare
Seaweed is one of the world’s most naturally abundant sources of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Used throughout the ishga skincare range, our seaweed extracts and powders deliver powerful anti-ageing, hydrating and skin-renewing properties.
Our unique seaweed extract is the cornerstone of ishga’s range of natural and organic skincare. It’s extracted directly into Hebridean spring water using a low temperature extraction process, which protects the beneficial compounds and enzymes. Our process has been independently tested with outstanding results, rich in polyphenols for healthy skin.
Antioxidant polyphenols provide protection against environmental damage to the skin by neutralising free radicals.
Organic Seaweed Wonders
Seaweed is an incredible marine plant which has been proven to regenerate skin cells, support collagen, contain detoxifying effects, supply a potent source of antioxidants, promotes hyaluronic acid production, and is a powerful hydrator for all skin types. It's also an extremely resillient plant, and these properties transfer to our skin to deliver protection and healing.Used throughout the ishga range, our mineral-rich extract is blended with organic ingredients and essential oils to create each product. From our bestselling moisturiser, our Anti-oxidant Marine Cream, to our award winning natural cleansers and body oil, our seaweed extract delivers effective results from the first use.
The Power of Hebridean Spring & Sea Water
ishga only uses Hebridean spring and seawater that is collected locally, unlike many skincare products that contain tap water. We collect our mineral-rich water from the surf as the waves break on our island’s beautiful beaches. The coastal waters surrounding the Outer Hebrides are recognised as being amongst the most pristine in the world, and to reflect this, they’ve been given the highest quality classification available by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.
Historically, on the Hebridean islands of Scotland, great importance was attached to locations where it flowed, and in particular, certain natural springs were noted for their different healing properties.
Our spring water is sourced from a remote location among the hills and lochs on The Isle of Lewis. The spring is lively and contains a bottom of natural blue clay. According to local folklore, it was used throughout the ages for its healing and therapeutic properties. Excellent for skincare, the water contains potent mineral contents, which includes potassium, magnesium and sulphates. We carefully take only what we need from the spring to ensure our process is as sustainable as possible.
