The Role of Each Herb in the Serum

Each herb in Beyond The Sea Face Serum plays a specific role in improving skin health. Here’s a breakdown of the herbs and their benefits:

• Wakame Seaweed: Hyaluronic Acid

Big Brands tout the addition of Hyaluronic Acid in their serums. We don't have to add it because this seaweed prevents the breakdown of your own Hyaluronic Acid. How? Wakame contains a polysaccharide called fucoidan and other sulfated polysaccharides that inhibit the enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, preserving the viscosity and water-retaining properties of the Hyaluronic Acid already in your skin.

Wakame also shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that protect Hyaluronic Acid. Since Hyaluronic Acid acts quickly to attract and hold water in your skin, visibly hydrating and plumping. ​Over time, this supports long-term skin structure and elasticity. Rich in vitamins and minerals, this seaweed also helps to detoxify the skin, while supporting collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines.

• Wild Carrot Seed: Glow Enhancing

Wild carrot seed oil (Daucus carota) contains Vitamin A, a precursor to Retinol, crucial for skin cell production and turnover, promoting wound healing, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. It is also an emollient, carotenoid‑rich botanical that soothes dryness, improves skin feel, and gives a warm, revitalized glow, and is particularly helpful for mature or dry skin types.

It also contains anti‑inflammatories (which calm redness and irritation) and improves skin tone and radiance by reducing oxidative discoloration. Wild Carrot Seed also contains Resveratrol, which has been studied for strengthening your skin barrier and supporting cell repair while toning and giving the skin a healthy glow.

• Licorice root: Brightening, Natural Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Licorice Root contains glabridin and liquiritin, which inhibit melanogenesis (the production of melanin), so it is effective for brightening hyperpigmentation and evening skin tone. Licorice also has anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant actions that protect collagen and reduce redness, making it useful for photoaging and post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

• Moringa: Antioxidants

Moringa is rich in antioxidants (vitamin C, quercetin, kaempferol) and oleic-rich oils that help protect skin from oxidative damage, protect collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and protect the skin's outer layer, preventing water loss (dryness) and blocking irritants, pollutants, and pathogens from entering.​

It can help even skin tone, reduce free-radical–mediated collagen breakdown, preventing hyperpigmentation, and provide emollient/conditioning effects that improve skin smoothness and appearance over time.

• Red Grapes: Resveratrol, Anti-Aging

Red grape extract is for antioxidant and anti‑aging protection. It is rich in polyphenols (resveratrol, anthocyanins, and other flavonoids) that neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and help protect collagen and elastin from oxidative breakdown. It boosts photoprotection and brightens dull skin tone.

• Calendula: Sensitive Skin

Calendula supports skin regeneration and reduces inflammation. It is especially helpful for sensitive or damaged skin. It is a soothing, anti‑inflammatory, and wound‑healing botanical. Calendula (marigold) has flavonoids and triterpenoids that reduce redness, promote barrier repair, and support collagen synthesis; it’s commonly used for calming, minor irritations, and post-procedure care.

• Chamomile: Soothing

Chamomile soothes irritated skin and reduces redness. It also has antioxidant effects that protect the skin from environmental damage.

• Plantain: Skin Repair

Plantain aids hydration, inflammation control, and healing of the skin.

• Chickweed: Dry Skin

Chickweed is emollient-rich and is used to soothe itchy, irritated, dry skin.

To Add or Not to Add CBD? It's Your Choice.

The serum is available in two versions: with CBD or without. Both options offer excellent skin benefits, but they cater to different needs.

• With CBD  

 Our Organic, THC-free CBD isolate has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps calm skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. If your skin is prone to irritation or redness, the CBD version can provide extra relief and balance.

• Without CBD  

The non-CBD version focuses purely on protecting, hydrating, and regenerating from the herbs and is ideal for those who are sensitive to CBD.

Both versions maintain the core benefits of the herbal ingredients, ensuring your skin receives consistent care and luxe beauty.

Key Takeaways

These carefully selected herbs, rich in antioxidants and soothing agents, and precursors to Retinol, prevent the breakdown of your Hyaluronic Acid and collectively offer remarkable benefits for sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin. They not only reduce chronic inflammation—a major accelerator of skin aging—but also support the skin's natural repair mechanisms. For enhanced anti-aging effects and a smooth, radiant glow,

How to Use Beyond The Sea Face Serum for Best Results

To get the most from this serum, follow these simple steps:

1. Cleanse your face. I use Organic Olive Oil massaged into my skin and wiped off with a face cloth to remove dirt and makeup, without drying.

2. Apply a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips.

3. Gently massage the serum into your face and neck using upward strokes.

4. Use the serum twice daily, morning and night, for continuous hydration and skin renewal.

Consistency is key. Over time, you will notice your skin becoming softer, more elastic, and more radiant.

Nydia: The CBD tightens up my skin. I'm buying more for myself and some for my sister!!

Nancy: I'm 67 years old. I have been using the serum for about a month now. It's amazing and I have stopped using all the other facial serums, creams and moisturizers. I use the serum just at bedtime. It does such a great job of moisturizing, I don't feel the need for anything in the morning. My face glows and is so soft and smooth. Previous small rough areas are gone. I used to have small scaly spots on my neck and they're all gone. I amcleaning out my product supply drawer and will continue your serum for a lifetime. It's important to note my age cuz i think it's impressive to note improvement.
