Where does Irish Sea Moss grow?
Much of the world’s harvested Chondrus Crispus comes from the shores of Ireland and the northern Atlantic coastal region down to the Caribbean; however, Chondrus Crispus can be found all over the planet, from the coast of Japan to the coast of Peru.
Why is Amethyst extract added to cMOSS BEAUTY®'s skincare line of products?
Amethyst extract has been shown to calm the skin, combat puffiness, reduce redness + irritation, and increase the cellular renewal process; all while easing emotional overload and mental stress.
Why species of Irish Sea Moss does cMOSS BEAUTY® use?
We are proud to say that only ethically harvested Chondrus Crispus is used in all cMOSS BEAUTY® products. Known as the "Collagen of the Sea" and the “King of Sea Mosses”, Chondrus Crispus grows on marine rock and holds the densest nutritional profile and strongest potency in comparison to other commonly used sea moss species like Eucheuma Cottonii or Genus Gracilaria.
Can I use all cMOSS BEAUTY® products together?
Yes, of course. A little goes a long way, so start small. Be sure to allow each product to fully absorb before applying the next, due to the high-potency Irish Sea Moss concentrate within.
What makes cMOSS BEAUTY® so nourishing and effective for the skin?
In addition to the superfood kick your skin will get from the Irish Sea Moss, our products are made with natural ingredients, real botanical extracts, and active components; are not tested on animals/Cruelty-free, Clinically Tested + proven Dermatologically Safe. Additionally, all products contain ZERO Parabens, Phthalates, Talc, Mineral Oil, Ethanol/Ethyl Alcohol, nor D4, 5, or 6.
Can I make Irish Sea Moss gel at home?
Absolutely! Once obtaining your sun-dried Irish Sea Moss, we recommend using Chondrus Crispus, you can prepare it by boiling or soaking it in spring water and blending. Either method will provide you with nourishing goodness - internally + externally.
Pro Tip #1: If making the gel to consume, add a key lime or two to your soaking water to ease any ocean-y flavor.
Pro Tip #2: When using the gel as a face mask, be sure to let the gel fully dry for maximum skin tightness. You'll know, you can feel the tightening happening!
Are these products good for sensitive skin?
All of our products are clinically tested and proven to be "Safe for Sensitive Skin" and "Kind to Skin". Free from common toxins found in over 80% of cosmetics which can irritate and inflame skin, cMOSS Beauty uses ethically harvested Irish Sea Moss, calming botanicals, and clean ingredients to support skin health.
If you have sensitive skin and are trying our products for the first time, we recommend starting slow, as a little goes a loooong way.
Although our active ingredients are naturally derived (i.e., Glycolic Acid derived from lemon peel) they're still active and potent!
Light and easy is the way, one product at a time, until fully adjusted.
