SEA BATH

We're delighted to see pioneering Irish lifestyle and skincare brand Voya is continuing to lead the charge in innovative ways to combat plastic pollution.  

Ahead of 'National Seaweed Day' next Tuesday, Mark Walton, co-founder of the the brand, tells us the seaweed is selected by eye and hand-harvested so as not to harm the delicate seabed or marine life and only a small portion is cut each time. Its packaging uses recycled, or biodegradable materials. Try the Lazy Days Seaweed Bath, €28, from Voya.
