Follow the Leaders: Repêchage

Tell us about your tagline “Beauty from the Sea.” 

At Repêchage, seaweed is the cornerstone of our skin care formulations. We use sustainably harvested seaweed from the coast of Maine that is processed with a proprietary extraction method at our manufacturing facility to ensure the highest quality and efficacy. This marine super ingredient is packed with 12 vitamins (including A, C, E, and K), 42 trace elements and minerals (such as calcium and magnesium), and 18 amino acids that help repair, hydrate, and restore skin vitality. Rich in antioxidants like phlorotannins and fucoxanthin, seaweed helps combat free radical damage and premature aging, leaving skin radiant and youthful.  

What skin types and client concerns benefit most from Repêchage products? 

Repêchage understands that every client’s skin is unique. That’s why our professional-grade skin care solutions are designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including: 

• Dry and dehydrated skin—Deeply hydrating formulas with laminaria digitata seaweed are rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to restore moisture and maintain skin elasticity. Sodium hyaluronate helps bind water to the skin for long-lasting hydration, while lactic acid gently exfoliates. (Example: Hydro-Complex PFS Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin) 
   
• Oily and acne-prone skin—Seaweed, salicylic acid, and zinc oxide work together to regulate oil production, unclog pores, and soothe irritation. Camellia sinensis (green tea) extract and willow bark extract provide natural antioxidant protection and help reduce breakouts. (Example: Hydra Medic Starter Collection) 
   
• Sensitive and redness-prone skin—Formulations with calming silver, a clinically proven Ecocert ingredient, alongside aloe vera, quercetin, and rutin help soothe irritation, reduce redness, and protect the skin barrier. Mirabilis jalapa extract helps strengthen sensitive skin against environmental stressors. (Example: Red-Out Soothing Moisturizer with seaweed extract and silver) 
   
• Mature skin—Our anti-aging solutions combine niacinamide (vitamin B3), acetyl hexapeptide-8 (peptide), and seaweed extracts to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin firmness. Kappaphycus alvarezii extract and caesalpinia spinosa fruit extract work together to provide an instant lifting effect, while lactic acid gently exfoliates for a smoother, more radiant complexion. (Example: Vita Cura B3 Elixir Complex)
