Chondrus crispus—commonly called Irish sea moss or carrageen moss —is a species of red algae. Sea Moss has 92 of the 102 vitamins and minerals the body needs. Sea Moss decreases inflammation in the skin, hydrates skin and gives it a natural glow. It heals damaged/irritated skin and prevents breakouts. Sea moss can actually help your skin produce collagen and keratin, too. This helps strengthen your skin and gives it the elasticity it needs to prevent wrinkles and look smooth and healthy.
