OCEAN SKINCARE BY Sea anemone
SEALUXE ORGANIC SKINCARE
As a child, our Sealuxe founder, Tanya discovered her passion for the ocean. Summers were spent beachcombing - exploring low tide as the ocean retreated each day to unveil an endless and ever changing world of excitement and intrigue. It was during these formative years that a young girl developed her passion for the sea, the coast and the thriving ecosystems they nurture. She spent the next 25 years never more than a stone’s throw from the ocean, and this journey has led to the creation of Sealuxe and a potent product line rich with the elements of thalassotherapy: seaweed, salt and Canadian glacial marine clay.
