We’re huge fans of using seaweed beauty products and also for dietary benefits.

Indeed one of our favourite recipes featuring Seaweed can be found in the brilliant Blazing Salads cookbook, Mexican Bean Casserole made using Kombu or our favourite seaweed Dulse.

AlgAran are relatively new to the market, all products are made in Ireland and feature both beauty and food-based products which are cheap, cheerful and do somewhat what they say on the tin.

Though AlgArans packaging leaves a lot to be desired & could do with a style-savvy revamp to get rid of the twee Oirish connotations and possibly help them get a foothold in the international market!
