About

An extract of hijiki seaweed. Hijiki is internationally flagged for inorganic-arsenic accumulation (UK FSA, Canada, Australia all advise against eating it), making it a poor raw-material choice cosmetically.

Known concerns

  • Hijiki is well-documented to accumulate inorganic arsenic — multiple food-safety authorities (UK FSA, Canada, Australia) warn against consumption

  • No CIR/SCCS cosmetic dossier
