What is it?

Chondrus Crispus, commonly known as Irish moss, is a species of red seaweed valued in skincare for its naturally occurring polysaccharides, particularly carrageenans. These compounds have excellent water-binding and gel-forming properties, making Chondrus Crispus especially useful in hydrating and conditioning skincare formulations. In cosmetics, Chondrus Crispus Extract is recognized for both skin-conditioning and viscosity-controlling functions.

Information

Chondrus Crispus, commonly known as Irish moss, is a species of red seaweed valued in skincare for its naturally occurring polysaccharides, particularly carrageenans. These compounds have excellent water-binding and gel-forming properties, making Chondrus Crispus especially useful in hydrating and conditioning skincare formulations. In cosmetics, Chondrus Crispus Extract is recognized for both skin-conditioning and viscosity-controlling functions.

Where does it come from?

Chondrus Crispus is a marine red algae that naturally grows along rocky North Atlantic coastlines, including areas of Europe and North America. After harvesting, the seaweed can be processed to obtain an extract rich in its naturally occurring marine polysaccharides.

  • Soothing: Its moisturizing and conditioning properties make it particularly well suited for formulations designed for the delicate skin around the eyes.
  • Conditioning: Conditions the skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple and refreshed.
