Our Irish Moss is harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic and lab-tested for quality and contaminants. Irish Moss is a versatile red seaweed used in a range of products, including food, cosmetics, and traditional medicines. As a food thickener, it is commonly used in soups, stews, and smoothies. In craft brewing, it is used as a vegan clarifier. Irish Moss is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and bioactive compounds.
Carrageenan, derived from Irish Moss, is a popular vegetarian alternative to gelatin. It is also a sought-after ingredient in cosmetics for its ability to soothe and nourish the skin. For centuries, Irish Moss and carrageenan have been used medicinally to treat respiratory, skin, and digestive ailments.
