Durvillaea antarctica

Other names: cochayuyo, cochajugo, bull kelp

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Durvillaea antarctica, also known as cochayuyo, cochajugo or bull kelp, is a species of brown seaweed found primarily in the cold waters of the southern hemisphere. This marine organism is found in shallow areas off the coasts of South America, New Zealand, South Africa and Antarctica. It is a very resilient species that can survive in the most extreme conditions and withstand strong swells. This seaweed can reach lengths of up to 15 metres and its stems can be up to 13 cm wide on average.

Durvillaea antarctica, or cochayuyo, is mainly used in food and cosmetics. In Chilean cuisine, it is a very popular ingredient that can be eaten raw, hot or cold. Its taste qualities are comparable to those of asparagus, oyster mushrooms or other seaweeds. Cochayuyo is rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making it an important addition to the diet. It is then used in cosmetics for its moisturizing and regenerative properties. It is often included in various creams, masks or hair products. The safety of this product is also confirmed by various certificates and it is also a popular ingredient in vegan cosmetics.
