Porphyra Yezoensis
The nori seaweed species from which nuru gel is derived.
Porphyra yezoensis is a species of red algae (commonly known as nori) traditionally harvested in Japan for both culinary and cosmetic use. In the wellness industry, it's the primary source material for authentic nuru gel. The seaweed is processed to extract its mineral-rich polysaccharides, which form the slippery, hydrating gel used in professional nuru massage.
