A new company blending the rejuvenating properties of seaweed, kelp and algae with the healing benefits of cannabis launched on Wednesday with the rollout of a line of topicals and edibles in California, the nation’s largest legal marijuana market. Co-founded by legendary marine adventurer Jacques Cousteau’s grandson Philippe and his wife Ashlan, SeaWeed Naturals promises to help restore the globe’s oceans while providing premium cannabis wellness products to its customers.
“The healing properties of cannabis and the superpowers of seaweed and algae-based Omega 3s are a mighty combination,” Ashlan Cousteau writes in an email. “When applied topically, seaweed and kelp have been proven to hydrate, minimize fine lines, promote collagen production, boost radiance, help relieve inflammation in skin, and reduce aging from environmental aggressors like pollution. When ingested, seaweed is a superfood and Omega 3 amino acids derived from algae have been proven to improve the health of your skin, organs, joints and bones, and crucially—your brain.”

Ashlan explains that she was first introduced to the healing properties of cannabis after giving birth to the couple’s first child. Having trouble sleeping, she turned to a friend (and now SeaWeed Naturals co-founder Jill Belasco) who introduced her to nighttime cannabis gummies with melatonin.
“I was finally able to sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and not groggy,” Ashlan remembers.
