Our Story
Aalgo is a family owned and operated business, with its origin stemming from a family ailment of very bad eczema.
As a small child growing up in Ireland, Tom suffered from very debilitating and itchy eczema. Having tried all of the expensive prescription medications with no success, his parents brought him to Switzerland and to the US to seek other treatments. Unfortunately, despite trying every remedy available nothing worked. The only relief from the irritation was when his family spent the summer swimming daily in the sea. However, upon return from summer holidays and the start of school it would be back worse than ever.
In latter years, it was so bad that under each arm and across his back, when he would drive, it would bleed. We remember it was so horrible one week that he went through at least 30 shirts from the bleeding. We, in jest, would call him an 'orangutan', always scratching!
During the late 80's, already being in the seaweed business, we decided to try and "bring the ocean home". After a couple of years of experimentation with different seaweeds and quantities we came up with a mix of seaweeds that finally worked! Since then he does not have a mark on him and his skin has been totally clear for over 18 years.
We have shared the benefit of Aalgo's natural formula for the past 18 years through a limited number of health spas, health shops, health farms, exhibitions, and now predominantly on the internet.
What makes our product so special?
The sea is the source of many healing advantages, as a result we at Aalgo aim to prevent people, children in particular, from suffering the excruciating pain, irritability, sleeplessness and itching brought about by many skin disorders.
In order to provide the best quality product our powder is 100% organic seaweed taken from several different oceans. These naturally cultivated seaweed beds are changed on a regular basis to maintain our position as the market leader in our field.
Aalgo is an old fashioned success story in which hard work, dogged determination, and a close family commitment, has produced a fantastic natural product which provides relief to all types of skin disorders
