The power of plants
Irish moss belongs to the red seaweed family and grows on the North Atlantic coast. Widely used in the food and cosmetic industries for its stabilizing properties, Irish moss is also used in the medicinal field due to a high content of vitamins, minerals and amino acids with anti-rheumatic, remineralizing and toning actions. The cosmetics industry became interested in Irish moss for its capacity for survival in extreme conditions of intense cold and low light.
Skincare benefits of Irish moss extract
In cosmetics, Irish moss extract helps to soothe skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness.
Responsible sourcing
Our Irish moss is cultivated in large basins in the Canadian Arctic to preserve its purity by preventing any contact with ocean flora, fauna or pollution. This ensures controlled and optimized cultivation
