If you are looking for locally sourced skin care without any harmful ingredients, this natural face cleanser is a fun and whimsical option -- mostly because of its name. Available from Uncle Harry's, Mermaid Scrubbers are made from seaweed harvested from Mendocino County, California. The Gigartina Red Marine Algae acts as both a cleanser and a tonic that will clean and nourish your facial skin when it turns into a soothing gel rich in minerals. A pack of Mermaid Scrubbers comes with six pieces.
The unique and all-natural face cleanser consists of dried seaweed that, when wet, opens up to release the gel. The product also has exfoliating properties and can be used on any part of the body. They are also reusable.
