Transform yourself into a mythological Selkie with this Seaweed Bath Bag. It will leave your skin & hair hydrated and silky smooth and smelling like a sultry ocean breeze.

Digitata kelp produces an alginate gel that is nourishing for the skin and hair.

The use of therapeutic seaweed baths goes back to the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Historically seaweed baths have been used to help treat sore muscles, stress, skin conditions, menopause symptoms, fatigue, and poor circulation, just to name a few.

For more detailed information read the Thalassotherapy blog post or the Seaweed Spa chapter of the book Seaweed by Valerie Cooksley.

Directions:
- Add 2 to 6 pieces of seaweed to the bag. Moisten in water until gel begins to form.
- Gently rub the bag on your skin or hair, or soak with it in the bath.
- Gel can be rinsed off or left on skin.
- Store in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days and re-hydrate to reuse. Discard (or compost) seaweed once gel is no longer produced.
- Reload bag with fresh seaweed for another use.

Other variations:
- Use in bath with a dash of your favorite essential oil to relieve stress and sore muscles.
- Re-hydrate in a bowl of warm water and then squeeze gel from bag to apply directly to skin.
- If reusing, try applying the gel cold directly out of the refrigerator for an invigorating boost.
- Use in the bath with Epsom Salt to help relieve pain and leave skin soft and smooth.
- Use gel on hair to help condition and soften.
