About ishga
The range
Marine Cream is the best-known product. Around it sit face, body and hair care, body oils, a men's line and travel sizes for trips away. ishga also sells seaweed supplements and scented candles for the home.
Why seaweed
Four types of seaweed are hand-harvested, in a sustainable way, from the waters off Scotland's north-west coast. The brand extracts them with its own process to hold on to the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that give the formulas their purpose. Soil Association certification backs up the organic claim, and no animal testing is involved.
