Meet the mineral-rich moss that does it all - nourish, soothe, strengthen, and hydrate from the inside out.
Carrageen moss naturally grows along the rocky Atlantic shorelines of Europe and North America - especially Ireland, the UK, and Eastern Canada. For centuries it’s been used in Atlantic and European folk medicine and cooking, gently simmered in water or milk to create a comforting gel for sore throats, coughs, and unsettled digestion. It also acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, and was traditionally used to support recovery after illness.
♡ Why we love it: Irish Moss is remarkably mineral-dense and celebrated for its mucilaginous, jelly-like texture. It’s rich in carrageenan (the compound that forms the gel), contains around 8–10% protein, and offers phenols and metabolites that act as antioxidants and soothing agents. It’s also packed with vitamins A, B, C, and E, along with minerals like iodine (abundant), calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, and a variety of trace elements.
With a nutrient profile like this, it genuinely earns its superfood status - working internally as a soothing demulcent gel for chest and digestion, a gentle mineral tonic, a vegan thickener, and a natural iodine source. In haircare, its gel supports moisture retention, softer and smoother strands, easier detangling, a happier scalp, and even delivers a touch of protein-like strength.
In skincare, this ocean-derived humectant forms a thin, tightening film that hydrates, calms, cushions, nourishes, and protects the skin - ideal for soothing, barrier-supportive, and glow-boosting formulations.
