    Description

    Chondrus crispus, also known as Irish Moss, is a red-violet seaweed from the Gigartinaceae family, mainly harvested along the coasts of Brittany. It is rich in natural polysaccharides – particularly carrageenan – as well as essential fatty acids, amino acid derivatives, minerals, and vitamins. Due to its high content of carbohydrates with water-binding potential, this alga is ideally suited as a base for cosmetic applications.
