What Are The Benefits Of Irish Moss Extract For The Skin?

 

Irish moss extract is primarily derived from a type of algae called Chondrus crispus, which typically grows on rocky beaches along the Atlantic coast of North America and Europe. It has distinctive fan-shaped leaves and ranges in color from deep purple to yellowish-green.

 

Its extract is rich in essential elements, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Its core component is carrageenan, a natural gelling agent extracted from seaweed and used as a food additive.
