Palmaria palmata (Dulse)

Palmaria palmata, also known as "Dulse", is a red algae widely found along the Atlantic coast. Traditionally it is often used for food and is a good source of trace elements such as iron, magnesium and potassium. It also contains vitamin B-6 and protein, making it a good source of additional vitamins and minerals.

Palmaria palmata also plays a role in natural cosmetics. When used in creams, it creates a protective film on the skin and protects it with its many trace elements. This is an advantage especially for easily irritated skin as it is better protected against external influences like sun and wind.

Examples of this are the numerous products of the Dulse & Rugosa brand from the USA.

The powder is commonly used for food and dietary supplements.

This product is available in the following forms: Palmaria palmata (Dulse) powder, Palmaria palmata (Dulse) flakes and dried Palmaria palmata (Dulse) raw algae.This product is also available as a non-organic variant.
