Seaflora prioritises sustainable resource utilisation by sourcing rapidly renewable resources like Nereocystis and local ingredients such as seaweed, sea mud and sea salts between Sooke and Port Renfrew, BC. The brand employs ethical harvesting techniques that preserve marine flora, using selective "haircuts" for rapid regrowth and spore production. As a certified cruelty-free brand, Seaflora partners exclusively with cruelty-free suppliers and emphasises local and Indigenous sourcing, producing seaweed oils and other materials in-house while minimising its carbon footprint. Sustainable manufacturing practices include in-house production for ethical control, eco-friendly facility design and a strict zero-waste policy. The brand donates part of its sales to local environmental nonprofits and uses sustainable packaging made of glass and compostable materials. Product formulations are free from harmful chemicals and include vegan, gluten-free and GMO-free options, along with carbon-neutral shipping practices.
Seaflora's eco-friendly manufacturing operates a zero-waste facility, dubbed a "bakery" due to food-grade ingredients, and employs energy-efficient practices including solar panels. Sustainable packaging consists of recyclable glass containers, compostable outer boxes and biodegradable shipping materials. The in-room amenity line for hotels reduces single-use plastics and includes a refill center in Sooke. Carbon footprint reduction is achieved through hand-harvesting at low tide and local employee residence.
Seaflora emphasises sustainability as an integral part of its operations, hand-harvesting pristine ingredients near their facility and infusing their products with a deep respect for the Salish Sea. Community involvement is emphasised through donations to local environmental non-profits, supporting organisations like the Ancient Forest Alliance and Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society. Seaflora has received multiple sustainability recognitions and is recognised as a North American Clean Beauty Industry Leader for 2023 and 2024. The brand focuses on creating skincare that promotes harmony between beauty and the planet.

Product Reviews by Experts


The ombré-style bottle with ocean hues evokes a dreamy seaside escape. The lightweight texture feels cooling and hydrating, absorbing quickly without residue. It’s a refreshing hybrid between a mineral-based sun shield and daily moisturiser, ideal for warmer months or those craving light, breathable protection. It left my skin feeling soft, silky and calm. I especially loved the marine ingredients, which are known to help reduce inflammation, neutralise free radicals and support healthy skin elasticity. Seaflora’s commitment to sustainability runs deep and it shows. From hand-harvesting wild seaweeds on foot to using solar energy, zero-waste practices and recyclable glass packaging, the brand embodies a genuine connection to the environment. I appreciate that they manufacture locally, formulate with food-grade natural ingredients and support marine conservation efforts through donations. Their focus on community, ocean health and slow, intentional beauty makes them a standout for those who care about the planet and what goes on their skin.


I love how gentle and lightweight this face SPF is. It’s easily absorbed, thanks to nourishing ingredients like organic seaweed extracts and provides natural sun protection using zinc oxide and MAAs. It leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated and protected- without a trace of ghosting. Seaflora’s approach to sustainability is intertwined with the rhythms of the sea. Their seaweed is hand-harvested on foot using regenerative techniques that preserve biodiversity- like their “haircut” method, which allows for rapid regrowth and continued spore production. Ingredients are sourced locally and processed in-house, reducing emissions and ensuring full traceability. With deep respect for traditional knowledge, Seaflora also works with Indigenous growers and honours time-honoured harvesting practices. From solar-powered manufacturing to plastic-free packaging- every detail reflects care for ocean and community!


I’m really impressed with how well this blends into the skin without leaving a white cast. It sits really nicely under makeup and kept my dry skin feeling comfy all day. I love their hand-harvesting practices which is really cool and that the formulation uses food-grade ingredients. It’s impressive that they run a zero-waste facility and supporting local Indigenous and environmental initiatives is also something I appreciated.
