cMOSS BEAUTY™ is Clean Food for Your Skin
Ethanol/Ethyl alcohol can strip the skin of moisture causing skin dryness and irritation. We use only fatty alcohols, which are non-drying and dermatologically safe.
Much of the market's available talc powder has been shown to contain asbestos, minerals which are toxic to humans.
Studies show that exposure to phthalates, oily chemicals used to enhance plastic durability, can disrupt hormones in both men and women. These chemicals are found in approximately 80% of cosmetic products, including top skincare brands.
Apart from being known to cause skin irritation, scientific studies suggest that these preservatives can disrupt hormones and wellness in the body.
Mineral oils can suffocate the natural skin barrier, disrupting the pH balance and potentially triggering acne prone skin.
Our products are free from harmful ingredients like D4, D5, and D6 silicones, ensuring a safer and cleaner formula for your skin and the environment.
Our products are cruelty-free, with no animal testing. A survey found 88% of major cosmetic brands still test on animals.

Driven by the Power of SEA+SCIENCE
A Kitchen-to-Laboratory Skin(Self)care Love Story
cMOSS BEAUTY™ Founder, Laurie Larkey, 45
My love story began when I was led into a passionate affair with Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus Crispus),an iodine and nutrient-rich edible ocean plant which brought health and vitality back into my life after having my thyroid fully removed and undergoing radioactive iodine treatment in my mid-thirties.
From my first spoonful of Irish Sea Moss gel, the 92 of the 102 nutrients + minerals in the human body made me feel alive again!
Whether boiling it or soaking and blending it, consuming Irish Sea Moss became a regular part of my diet, and the results showed!
My new vibrancy was so visible, I naturally became curious as to how my skin would respond if I applied the gel topically.
Well, Wow - Instantly tighter, brighter, dewier skin from the first application!
After sharing my healing journey and how this Collagen of the Sea had restored dewiness to my skin, I partnered with a renowned US-based cosmetics laboratory to design a clean, natural, performance-driven line of unique, innovative skincare products.
By combining Irish Sea Moss, often referred to as “the Collagen of the Sea”, with unique ingredients and advanced science, our high-potency, clean yet active, beauty products were created to give you a truly transformative SEA+SCIENCE skincare experience.
"I like this skincare line. It has proven skincare ingredients and the Irish Moss."
“Loved the products. I actually got compliments on my skin after using for 1 week. Noticeably smaller pores and smoother skin.”
"I have dry skin and this was terrific on me."

Pro Tip: If making the gel to consume, add a key lime or two to your soaking water to ease any ocean-y flavor.
