Bladderwrack Salicylic Acid Treatment Water

Note! Delivery starting week 22

A cleansing and renewing facial toner for impure and easily oily skin, which unclogs pores and smooths uneven, rough skin.

This effective yet gentle facial toner combines nano-formulated salicylic acid, or BHA, soothing linden flower water, and bladderwrack collected from the Archipelago Sea into a balancing and regenerating whole for your skin.

The light, water-based formula absorbs quickly and is perfect as part of a treatment routine applied under serum or moisturizer.

How the active ingredients support your skin's well-being

Salicylic acid is an effective aid for impurities and signs of aging.

Salicylic acid is a plant-derived active ingredient known for its effective action in treating oily and impure skin. It:

• Gently exfoliates the skin and deeply cleanses pores
• Helps reduce blackheads and blockages
• Soothes inflammation and balances skin oiliness
• Softens scars and fine lines

However, traditional salicylic acid can be irritating for more sensitive skin, and it often requires solvents that can dry out your skin. A new nanotechnology-based form has been developed specifically for sensitive skin that needs efficacy:

• Nano-sized particles deliver the active ingredient deeper into the skin
• The effect is precisely targeted, so a smaller amount is sufficient, without irritation
• Water acts as the base, eliminating the need for strong solvents in the product
• Brings visible results: clearer, smoother, and soothed skin
• Nano Salicylic Acid reduces your skin's oiliness, prevents impurities, and soothes inflammation.
• Nano-formulated salicylic acid can act in the deeper layers of the skin more effectively than the traditional form of salicylic acid. It regulates sebum production, unclogs pores, and curbs inflammation, making it an ideal choice for impure, oily, or hormonally irritated skin.

Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) naturally softens and moisturizes your skin.
Saaren Taika has developed an effective active ingredient from bladderwrack that supports your skin's moisture balance, soothes irritation and redness, and strengthens the skin structure.
At the core of our bladderwrack series are unique combination ingredients developed in our own laboratory in Finland, which extract the nutrients and bioactive compounds of bladderwrack with exceptional efficiency.

We only use wild-grown bladderwrack dislodged by storms, which is collected by hand from the clean shores of the Bothnian Sea when nature provides it to us. The limited availability of the raw material makes the bladderwrack series genuinely exclusive.

Linden flower water calms and refreshes your skin.
Linden flower water is known for its skin-soothing and redness-reducing effects. It gives the product a light scent and makes it particularly pleasant to use.

L-arginine promotes skin repair by accelerating the healing of damage to skin cells. This improves the skin's structure and makes it feel smoother. It supports collagen formation and strengthens your skin's natural protective mechanism. It is a natural amino acid that also helps retain moisture, which is a common challenge in aging skin. It helps your skin look more vibrant and smoother.

The result is:

• More matte and cleaner skin
• Smoother skin surface and more even tone
• Reduced impurities and redness
• Healthier, stronger, and renewed skin

Skin Benefits with Nano Salicylic Acid

1. Reduces skin oiliness
Prevents excessive sebum production by inhibiting the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to DHT, a substance that stimulates the sebaceous glands.
This keeps your skin more matte and less clogged.

2. Prevents impurities and comedones
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, meaning it removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
Nano-formulation allows for action even deeper in the skin, which helps prevent inflammatory pimples.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect
Reduces the production of inflammatory mediators (IL-6 and TNF-α), which calms the skin and reduces redness and irritation.
Also suitable for more sensitive skin, as a lower concentration is sufficient for effective action.

4. Stimulates cell renewal
Increases the expression of KI67 protein, which is a marker of cell division and renewal.
This promotes skin regeneration, evenness, and youthfulness.

5. Improves skin texture
Reduces keratin accumulation and promotes skin softening and smoothing.
Resulting in smoother, brighter, and more vibrant skin.

6. Reduces premature aging
Promotes collagen synthesis in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps firm the skin and prevent the formation of fine lines
