“We chose Seychelles and the Indian Ocean because it had the perfect climate and the land is very pure”
Dr. Martin, Mahe Bleu Founder
Seychelles has an EEZ of 1.37 km2 of ocean and 115 islands, and 435 species of algae have been documented so far. Algae is one of the most dense crops on earth, algae contains minerals such as magnesium, manganese, calcium, copper, iodine, iron, potassium, phosphorus & zinc as well as vitamins like A, B, C, D & E. The benefits of ingesting both categories include a boost in immunity, improved circulation, detoxification of vital organs and a regulation of natural hormones. The rich nature of algae means that it can provide all of the immeasurable benefits.
Benefit 1. Moisture: Algae is packed with humectants that draw in moisture at a greater rate than any other natural ingredients, as well as containing vitamin E (famously hydrating).
Benefit 2. Antioxidants: Vitamin B & C combat pigmentation, stimulates collage and brightens lacklustre skin. They are both powerful anti-aging ingredients.
Benefit 3. Minerals: Omega, Zinc & Magnesium all contribute to a more healthy epidermal barrier, protecting from environmental aggressors and soothing any current inflammation.
Benefit 4. Proteins: Amino acids are the building blocks of cells, which maintain and fill cells membranes, simultaneously creating a plump, youthful face while preventing any accelerated aging.

We believe we should always give back to the Indian Ocean instead of what we take from it. This is why organic farming methods have been used since we started. We take a holistic approach and view the farm as a single system connected to the earth, atmosphere and universe.
