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.

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!
