User experiences

“Makes the skin soft, smooth, and supple. Spreads easily, very long-lasting, and leaves a lightweight feel on the skin. I feel that fine lines and dullness have diminished, and my skin tone is more even. A true super serum!” — Piia R.

“I’ve used the serum for 3 weeks together with the bladderwrack face cream. The nose area has clearly cleared up. Pores have become smaller and sebum no longer pushes from the sides of the nose like before. The rest of my skin tone also feels bright and even.” — Katja H.

“The serum spreads easily and absorbs quickly. The scent is mild and neutral. My previously reactive skin with red bumps calmed rapidly. The brightening, firming and smoothing effects were clearly visible. I wondered if a product this effective would suit continuous use, but my skin has been very happy with it so far. My skin condition has clearly improved while using the serum. I recommend it!” — Tarja A.

Key active ingredients in the Super Serum

Plant-based retinol alternative
Helps smooth and firm the skin, minimizes pores, and evens skin tone without the irritation associated with traditional retinoids. Balances sebum, reduces shine and blemishes, supports moisture balance, and activates the skin’s own retinoic-acid–like activity—gentle enough for sensitive skin. Naturally derived, approved in natural cosmetics.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl® synthe’6®)
A powerful peptide that helps fill lines and improve skin structure by stimulating the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, fibronectin and laminin. Reduces wrinkle depth, visibly smooths, and leaves skin feeling plumper and more hydrated—especially effective on forehead and crow’s-feet lines. Synthetic.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Known for an “instant botox-like effect,” this hexapeptide targets expression lines with multi-level anti-age action (epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, muscles). It increases firmness and elasticity and reduces signs of sagging.

Backed by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies, it: Relaxes facial muscle activity to soften expression lines and wrinkles. Improves muscle recovery after contraction for a more relaxed, youthful look. Reduces aging factors, supports collagen production, decreases pro-inflammatory SASP molecules, and slows premature cellular aging. Increases type I collagen, improving elasticity and firmness even in mature skin. Improves surface smoothness and hydration while reducing roughness and the appearance of lines.

As a neurocosmetic peptide, it modulates neuro-muscular signaling: Competes with SNAP-25, reducing neurotransmitter release. Weakens muscle contraction and speeds relaxation for softer expressions. Supports dermal fibroblast function and boosts collagen. This neuromodulatory, localized action is why it’s considered a gentle, topical “botox-like” anti-age ingredient. 98.6% natural origin (ISO 16128).

Tetrapeptide-21
A bioactive tetrapeptide that helps improve skin structure and reduce visible signs of aging by stimulating, among others, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Smooths the skin’s surface, reduces lines, and improves elasticity and hydration by mimicking the skin’s own repair and renewal processes. Synthetic.

Pentylene Glycol
Enhances the penetration and performance of actives like peptides. Together with peptides, delivers synergistic benefits such as improved hydration, a stronger skin barrier, and anti-aging effects by helping peptides reach effective depths while peptides stimulate collagen for improved firmness and fewer wrinkles. Naturally derived; not fully compliant with natural-cosmetics standards.

Niacinamide
Evens skin tone and reduces lines while smoothing and firming the skin and increasing elasticity. Brightens, helps fade dark spots and post-acne marks, strengthens the skin barrier, and supports moisture balance. Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. Synthetic.

COSMOS-approved active derived from tea tree oil
Helps keep skin clear, prevents blemishes, and supports the microbiome effectively yet gently—ideal for acne-prone, oily, or imbalanced skin. Works by reducing pro-inflammatory factors, soothing the skin, relieving itching, reducing UV-induced redness, and preventing free-radical formation. Suitable for sensitive skin. Naturally derived, approved in natural cosmetics.

Hyaluronic acid (high and low molecular weights)
Binds moisture at the surface and in deeper layers. Naturally derived; permitted in natural cosmetics.

L-Arginine
Supports skin repair by accelerating the healing of cellular damage, improving texture and smoothness. Aids collagen formation and strengthens the skin’s natural defenses. As a natural amino acid, it also helps retain moisture—often a challenge in aging skin—so the skin looks more vibrant and feels smoother. Natural.

Oat-derived ceramide
Strengthens the skin barrier while repairing and protecting the skin. Contains lipids that soothe and moisturize while defending against signs of aging. Naturally derived, approved in natural cosmetics.

Green tea extract
Antioxidant protection against free radicals and external stressors. Tightens the look of pores, refreshes, supports renewal, and helps improve overall skin health and appearance. Natural.

Rose water
Gently hydrates and soothes sensitive skin. Contains natural antioxidants and a delicate floral water aroma that enhances the overall sensory experience. Natural.

Camellia oil
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant; calms sensitive skin—ideal for skin prone to rosacea or atopy. Supports barrier repair and moisture balance. Natural.

Cranberry seed oil
Rich in antioxidants; nourishes and soothes, helping reduce redness and tightness. High in omega-3 and -6 fatty acids and antioxidants to protect and maintain moisture balance. Natural.

Apricot kernel oil
Nourishes and softens while helping maintain elasticity and moisture. Natural. Sea buckthorn seed oil Vitamin- and antioxidant-rich; supports renewal and protects against environmental stress. Helps reduce inflammation—great for acne- or rosacea-prone skin. Natural.

Glycerin
Plant-based humectant that deeply hydrates and supports the barrier for softer, more elastic skin. Natural.

Medium-chain triglycerides (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride)
A lightweight, skin-friendly emollient that moisturizes effectively and makes the texture pleasant. Naturally derived, approved in natural cosmetics.

Our Super Serum supports the skin’s natural barrier, brightens and smooths, and helps reduce visible signs of aging.

Innovative and unique skincare In our Bladderwrack range, we don’t use farmed or intensively produced seaweed. We use only bladderwrack that has been naturally detached by storms and the sea. We hand-collect it—or dive for it—along the shores of the Bothnian Sea, only when nature provides it. This means the raw material is limited, and production cannot simply be scaled to meet demand—making the range genuinely exclusive and unique.

We collect only what the storm has released. Never before. Never by force. This ensures the delicate marine ecosystem remains intact and nature’s cycle is respected.

This is not a mass product, but an exclusive, high-grade choice—for your skin and for the environment. The range’s efficacy is built on carefully considered combinations of the most effective and studied skincare ingredients.

We combine rare, wild-harvested bladderwrack with modern, high-performance actives. The result is skincare whose effectiveness shows. This is not natural cosmetics. This is high-quality, results-driven skincare, combining rare, wild bladderwrack with Saaren Taika’s own innovative product development in Finland.

The serum is ~98% of natural origin. The most effective peptides are not permitted in certified natural cosmetics. We selected three top-tier peptides with research-backed effects to help smooth wrinkles, boost collagen production, and improve skin elasticity.
