FAQs

What makes Sea People different?

Most people don't realise it's dairy-free until they check the label.

We make our cashew milk fresh daily - just cashews and filtered water. And while every other ice cream brand relies on glucose, tapioca syrups or alcohol sugars for texture and sweetness, we use only organic cane sugar, coconut sugar, and maple syrup.

It takes more effort and costs more, but the result is cleaner ingredients and better flavour.
Nothing hidden, nothing you need to google.

In small amounts, yes. We use less than 1% organic guar gum and sunflower lecithin to maintain texture and consistency. Both are plant-based and commonly used in small quantities in ice cream.
