Q: Does this make a gel like aloe vera?
A: It forms a food-style gel when simmered, but it is not the same as aloe gel and will have a sea-vegetable character.

Q: Can I use it in both food and cosmetics?
A: Yes, it is commonly used as a thickener in recipes and as a gel base in rinse-off hair and skincare routines.

Q: Why is straining important?
A: Straining removes fine seaweed particles for a smoother result in drinks, gels, and masks.
