About Us

 

Guernsey Seaweed began in 2019 when Ben started collecting drift seaweed to dry and turn into fertiliser - an industry with a very long history in Guernsey.

In 2020, during the covid pandemic we worked with a local gin distiller to create a seaweed based hand sanitiser as there was none available on the island.  The positive feedback lead to Ben looking at using the seaweed for the base of a skincare range and by the middle of 2021 we launched our moisturiser and serum products. 

During 2020 we also launched our first three food seasonings. 

Situated in the English Channel the small island of Guernsey is the largest of the 5 islands that make up the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

Seaweed has been apart of island life for thousands of years, being used for fuel and fertilising crops.  During the German Occupation in the Second World War, Islanders faced famine and started to use seaweed for food.  

Guernsey Seaweed collects seaweed from a number beaches regularly tested for their water quality. Careful selection and hand picking of these amazing sea vegetables means we only take a part of the seaweed allowing for regrowth and sustainable crop. 

Our Mission
Quite simply, we want to bring people a healthy, nutritious and vitamin packed superfood to their table and into their diet everyday by using the sustainably harvested edible seaweed through seaweed seasonings.
