The History of Guam
DISCOVERING ALGAE
Scientific studies have shown the extraordinary virtues of seaweed.
Jean Valnet, doctor and pioneer of phytotherapy, published in his studies:
The HISTORY OF OUR BRAND BEGINS IN 1986
.. year in which the founder of Guam – Lacote, Egidio Siena arrived at the port of Brest in Brittany (France). Here, he saw boats filled with seaweed collected by local fishermen from the cold depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The algae, then spread over the fields adjacent to the sea, were dried in the sun and ocean wind until they lost 80% of their weight. Once dried, this pure concentrate of seaweed was taken to the mills and finely ground, thus becoming a very fine powder called “fior fiore d’Alga”.
OUR GREEN GOLD
Even today on the coasts of Brittany, since 1600, fishermen have handed down ancient and precious recipes for health and body care, praising the innumerable properties of this precious “Green Gold”, whose benefits such as slimming, anti-rheumatic and remineralizing properties, make the GUAM Seaweed a true treasure of the sea. Even in the care of beauty this Alga has turned out to be an innovative discovery, so much so that it deserves the nickname of GREEN GOLD, precisely for the inexhaustible richness that accompanies the history of its possible uses.

Egidio Siena, starting from this flower of algae, developed a formulation enriched with plant extracts and other natural ingredients, to obtain a product that contained all the properties of this precious GREEN GOLD. Thus was born the Guam Seaweed Mud, since then used and appreciated all over the world. To verify its effectiveness, he had numerous tests carried out, one of which included a sample of 36 women who, after applying Guam Seaweed Mud to the thighs and buttocks for 45 minutes a day and for several days, confirmed the promised results. noting that cellulite blemishes, skin adiposity and swelling were visibly reduced. Using these Algae means choosing the results and at the same time having the certainty that the environment is respected.

OUR ORIGINAL RECIPE
For thirty-five years, the recipe of Guam Seaweed Mud has remained unchanged, the type of seaweed used remains the same, collected in the Oceans using the traditional method. Starting from the month of May, when the algae are young and vital, harvesting begins, aboard boats, using an ancient tool (the “scoubidou”) which allows them to be extracted without harming the mother plant, guaranteeing continuous renewal, of this precious resource.
Taken ashore, they are evenly distributed in large fields to be dried and aired in the sun and ocean wind. Subsequently, the algae are ground and mixed with the other ingredients through rigorously cold procedures to maintain the original properties and characteristics unaltered.
