French term

actifs marins

French to English Marketing Cosmetics, Beauty
This term refers to the active ingredients in micro-seaweed shower gel. It's in a title and has to be short and snappy: Exfoliating shower gel with "actifs marins".
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Marine Exfoliating Shower Gel (enhanced with marine extracts)

I've translated something very similar to this. I do quite a bit of cosmetics translation and in my experience the English product name is generally a lot shorter than then French, with an add-on in smaller type below if necessary. So with this product you could do something like:

MARINE EXFOLIATING SHOWER GEL
enhanced with marine extracts/rich in marine active ingredients/etc.etc.
