IRISH MOSS FLAKES (CHONDRUS CRISPUS)

Irish moss, unlike sea moss, is a seaweed native to the rocky northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.  It is a dark, leafy seaweed. It is not sea moss, which is more stringy, stick-like, and native to the southern, tropical Atlantic Ocean. 

Available in whole leaf or flakes. Flakes are a cut-up version of the whole leaf. The flakes tend to be easier to incorporate into food and into cosmetic applications. 

Irish moss includes Vitamins A, E, F, and K, calcium, potassium, and sulfur. It is also a naturally occurring source of iodine, which can be difficult to include in one’s diet through food alone.

Rich in potassium chloride, Irish moss helps with congestion and mucus and holds anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. It’s also good for dry skin and for skin conditions making it a valued ingredient for lotions and moisturizers.
