Spotlight on Ishga

Here at the Devonshire Spa, we’re proud to be one of a small number of UK spas to offer the award-winning products and treatments. With a long list of admirers, the ishga range not only smells and feels divine, it delivers noticeable results too.

Created using the purest Scottish organic seaweed derived from the Outer Hebrides and famed for its clean, pure waters, ishga spa products harness the natural anti-oxidant, healing and anti-ageing properties of this super beauty ingredient. Their impressive collection of scrubs, oils and other spa products deliver an exceptional range of benefits and their exclusive spa therapies offer incredible results to our customers.

From the quite simply incredible Hebridean Sea Salt & Oil Scrub to the award-winning ishga Invigorating Body Oil, praised for its ‘amazing, awakening scent’ by Shortlist magazine in the Beauty Shortlist awards 2017, it’s fair to say that these products are a little bit special and one of the best-kept secrets of beauty experts – until now.

The seaweed extract which forms the basis of the ishga skincare range is 100% organic and produced by the combination of hand harvesting and natural spring water, using a low-temperature extraction process to keep the seaweed pure and to retain the natural minerals. To ensure its seaweed harvesting is sustainable, environmentally friendly and doesn’t impact the environment negatively, ishga works closely with Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish National Protection Agency (SEPA) which means that not only are they good to you, they’re good to the environment too!

Blending seaweed with natural spring water and sea water containing 83 mineral elements, ishga products provide a unique cocktail of vitamins, minerals and powerful natural anti-oxidants that are considered essential for maintaining glowing, healthy skin. The mineral rich seaweed extract is carefully blended with cucumber extract, macadamia, jojoba, aloe vera and lemon peel to detoxify, nourish, firm and hydrate the skin for incredible results.

Seaweed has been used for centuries for its natural healing and therapeutic properties but it has only been utilised within commercial beauty products in the last few years. The ishga range is ideal for all skin types, but because seaweed has so many powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial healing properties, the ishga collection ideal for sensitive skin types and those prone to eczema and psoriasis thanks to their ability to heal and calm the skin.

The ishga product portfolio includes a wide range of beauty products including salt scrubs, face and body oils, cleansers, face masks, serums, hair products, candles and face creams. Here are our top five favourites….

Exfoliating Face Mask

Exfoliate and deep cleanse with this face mask which is a real favourite amongst the Devonshire Spa’s expert team. Packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and trace elements, this face mask is applied to the skin and left for 5-10 minutes to fully allow the super ingredients to work their magic. Once the time is up, gently rub the product into the skin in a circular motion to provide gentle exfoliation. Wash off with warm water to reveal fresh, smooth skin that looks radiant, revived and renewed.


Regenerating Face Serum

With natural salt water and brown algae seaweed, this luxurious and powerful facial serum revitalises, soothes and refreshes the skin in one easy step and leaves the skin looking smooth, radiant and feeling absolutely amazing.  Ideal for all skin types, simply massage this lightweight serum into the face and neck in an upward motion before your daily moisturiser.

We’re massive fans of facial oil at the Devonshire Spa and this product is one of the most coveted around. It’s packed with essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants to rehydrate, nourish and feed the skin.  Containing pure geranium oil on a base of skin softening jojoba and sweet almond oil and seaweed extract, this hard-working facial oil will leave your skin silky and smooth.

Hand Poured ishga Candle

This luxury handcrafted candle is inspired by the fresh scent of citrus lavender, geranium rose and lemongrass, and is made by hand pouring a sprinkle of seaweed in-between each layer which becomes evident once the candle is lit. Offering around 40 hours of luxurious burning time, it’s beautifully packaged making it an ideal gift for someone special, and is a great addition to the bathroom. Light the candle whilst running a hot bath, and let the uplifting aroma help you unwind.


Active Cleansing Lotion

This luxurious and fresh-scented daily cleanser turns make-up removal into a welcome ritual. With bergamot orange oil to calm and soothe and lemon rind to act as an antiseptic and boost the immune system, this cleanser smells heavenly and quickly removes make-up and daily grime from the skin leaving it smooth, soft and radiant.  Gentle enough for daily use, simply massage into skin and remove with a cotton pad using upward and outward movements
