Kelp originated from 3 cousins (Corbin, Luke & Sebastian) while running their podcast, PacBleu, started in 2020 that highlighted businesses at the intersection of commerce & sustainability. During this process they discovered the alarming fact that within 10 years, between 2010 and 2020, nearly 90% of our Pacific Coastal Kelp Forests were decimated.
As surfers, ocean lovers and teenagers already interested in business & sustainability, they wanted to do something to bring awareness and solutions to this problem. Based on their experience highlighting eco-centric business they decided to build something that could both make money and do good. As teenagers this also coincided with the realization and recognition that skincare for young men was boring, bland and difficult to find clean products at affordable prices - that's when the idea for Kelp Skin Was was born.
Merging the health benefits of Kelp with a clean skincare line and a cause-driven mission to build awareness and support Kelp Reforestation Globally. The 3 cousins are joined by their father / uncle and aunt with a background in entrepreneurship and cosmetics.
Their goal is to provide Clean skincare for men with cause-driven mission to support Kelp Reforestation Globally by driving awareness via their consumers and directly donating $1 for every product sold to various Kelp Restoration non-profits.
