February Update: Kelp Pots, Heat Stability, and More!
Plus new distributors and an upcoming event
🌱 OceanMade plants a seed of change
Remember when we talked about our zero-waste vision? Well, we're watching it sprout into reality! Our amazing partner OceanMade has created kelp pots — biodegradable seed starter pots using the seaweed pulp leftover from our Big Kelp Hydration production. These sustainable pots are replacing traditional peat-based options, giving gardeners a truly ocean-friendly way to start their seedlings. Talk about closing the loop!
🧪 Big Kelp Hydration is heating up
One of the common questions we get about Big Kelp Hydration is how it holds up at high temperatures. Good news! Our latest studies show it retains stability at 80°C for up to 4 hours. This means you can now confidently use it in hot processes like emulsification and still maintain all those powerful hydration benefits. We've updated our formulation guidelines to reflect this expanded temperature range.
🤝 Growing Our Distribution Network
We're thrilled to announce two new partnerships that will make accessing our ingredients easier than ever:
Catalyst Technologies, serving customers on the West Coast
Black Label Ingredients, serving customers on the East Coast
These respected ingredient suppliers share our commitment to sustainability and innovation, and we couldn't be more excited to work with them!
