A dual-action body lotion combining marine phytoplankton extract with hyaluronic acid to deliver deep, lasting hydration. Formulated for all skin types, this lightweight lotion absorbs quickly while providing intensive moisture and antioxidant protection.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
Marine Phytoplankton Extract: Phytoplankton is nutrient-rich marine superfood loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and amino acids. These bioavailable nutrients:
• Stimulate skin metabolism and energize cells, encouraging regeneration for a more youthful complexion
• Protect against UV radiation and pollution through high antioxidant levels that neutralize free radicals
• Provide intense hydration through amino acids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides that bind water to skin
Hyaluronic Acid: A humectant capable of binding over 1,000 times its weight in water. HA is an important component of the extracellular matrix, with natural loss starting at age 25. In this formula:
• Increases skin hydration immediately after application
• Improves overall skin flexibility and elasticity with long-term use
• Reduces transepidermal water loss by improving hydration of upper epidermis layers
Vitamin E, Chlorophyll & Vitamin B2: Additional fortifying nutrients that support skin barrier function and provide antioxidant protection.
Geranium Essential Oil Blend Natural, gentle scent without synthetic fragrances.
Who It's For
• Anyone with dry, dehydrated skin seeking intensive moisture
• Those concerned about environmental damage (pollution, UV exposure)
• People looking for anti-aging body care with proven ingredients
• Sensitive skin types needing fragrance-free or naturally scented options
• Anyone wanting marine-based, nutrient-dense skincare
Texture & Application
Lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly. Apply to clean, damp skin after showering for maximum absorption. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and legs. Use daily for best results.
Why Choose This Over Standard Body Lotion
Most body lotions provide surface-level moisture that evaporates within hours. This formula combines two scientifically-backed hydrators—hyaluronic acid for water-binding and phytoplankton for nutrient delivery—to address both immediate dryness and long-term skin health. Clinical studies show HA intake leads to significant increases in skin elasticity, hydration, and decreases in skin roughness and wrinkle depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is phytoplankton and why is it in skincare?
Phytoplankton are microscopic, plant-like organisms that live in oceans and freshwater bodies and form the foundation of the ocean food chain. In skincare, they contain abundant vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 known for moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. Marine phytoplankton delivers bioavailable nutrients directly to skin cells, offering benefits that synthetic ingredients cannot replicate.
How does hyaluronic acid work in body lotion?
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that retains moisture and is capable of binding over 1,000 times its weight in water, and is naturally found in many areas of the human body including skin, eyes, and joints. When applied topically, larger HA molecules sit on the skin's surface offering hydration there, while smaller HA molecules penetrate deeper into the epidermis. This dual action provides both immediate moisture and longer-lasting hydration.
Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. This formula is free from parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and artificial colors—common irritants for sensitive skin. Plankton is safe to use even for sensitive skin because it is calming where other products might inflame or irritate. The geranium essential oil blend provides natural, gentle scent. If you have specific allergies, review the full ingredients list above.
How is this different from your Omega-3 body lotions?
Both product lines offer ultra-moisturizing benefits, but with different star ingredients:
• Phytoplankton Lotion (this product): Features marine phytoplankton extract + hyaluronic acid for maximum hydration and antioxidant protection from environmental stressors
• Omega-3 Lotions: Feature MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) + omega-3 oils from flax, borage, and rose hip for healing compromised skin
Choose phytoplankton if your priority is hydration and anti-aging. Choose Omega-3 if your skin needs healing and repair.
How often should I apply this lotion?
Daily application yields best results. Clinical studies of HA products used twice daily showed improvements in smoothness, plumping, hydration, and fine lines. Apply after showering when skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture. Reapply to hands and dry areas as needed throughout the day.
Will this help with aging skin on my body?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the extracellular matrix, with loss starting at 25 years old. Marine plankton has anti-aging effects, with some species known to stimulate production of collagen and elastin, vital proteins for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. Regular use addresses visible signs of aging including loss of firmness, dryness, and texture changes.
Can I use this on my face?
While formulated for body use, the ingredients are face-safe. However, Griffin Remedy offers facial products specifically formulated for delicate facial skin, including a Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum and Facial Cream designed to work together. Body lotions typically contain richer emollients better suited for body skin.
