Green Caviar, known as sea grapes across Southeast Asia, is a seaweed rich in minerals and amino acids. Native to Okinawa, Japan, it has been eaten fresh for generations and is now grown and consumed across much of Asia. Discover its benefits in skincare.

The composition research on green caviar is thorough, and it explains why the ingredient earned attention.
A balanced profile, between 7 and 12 percent depending on where it grows.
Phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and copper. High compared with other edible seaweeds.
Polyphenols and carotenoids, with measurable antioxidant capacity.
Composition varies by growing region. Light, water and sediment all shift the profile, so green caviar from one farm is not identical to green caviar from another.
Good to Know
For skin that needs a stronger foundation.
Suitable for all skin types. Contains wheat germ oil. Not suitable for anyone avoiding wheat-derived ingredients.
It begins with warmth. Body heat softens the gel, which turns clear as it releases.
It sits cool on contact. Mostly water, so it feels cool from the moment it's applied.
It follows the contour. The gel moulds to the face for even, consistent contact.
Thirty minutes is the full treatment. No overnight wear, just remove and press in the rest.
The rest of the formula
A botanical extract does its work as part of a system. What surrounds it matters as much as the ingredient itself.
Green caviar brings minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Around it, the formula adds four supporting actives. Each one looks after a different part of the result: the barrier, moisture, and how firm and supple skin looks.
Replaces the lipids that seal the barrier.
Ceramides are lipids that occur naturally in the skin. They sit between the surface cells and help keep moisture in. When skin is dry or stressed, it can look rough and feel tight.
In this formula, ceramide supports the skin barrier, so skin looks smoother and feels more comfortable. It complements green caviar: green caviar brings the hydration, and ceramide helps skin hold on to it.
Supports barrier function and moisture retention.
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and a well established active in skincare. It is valued for being gentle and for how well it works alongside other ingredients.
Here it reinforces what green caviar starts: skin that holds on to moisture and looks healthy and refreshed.
Signal the skin to produce collagen and elastin.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks green caviar is rich in. That shared origin is part of what makes them a natural partner for the ingredient.
The formula uses four different peptides rather than one. Together, they work on how firm and elastic skin looks, helping it appear smoother and more supple.
Binds water where the skin needs it.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin, where it holds on to water. It is one of the reasons hydrated skin looks full and smooth.
In this mask, it keeps moisture at the surface, so skin looks plump and dewy rather than dry. It pairs with green caviar to deliver the hydration that gives the glass skin finish.
