Sea Moss for Your Skin Routine: An Honest Guide

Quick answer: Sea moss won't solve skin conditions, and if you are dealing with acne, eczema or any skin problem, a dermatologist is the right first stop. What sea moss can be is a simple part of your routine: our sea moss soaps and sea moss body butter for the outside, and 2 tablespoons of gel a day as a source of minerals like iodine, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Our sea moss is Eucheuma cottonii, wildcrafted in St. Lucia and third-party tested.

Caribbean families have used sea moss for generations as part of daily wellness routines, and plenty of our customers first found us through our soaps. Here's how sea moss fits a skin routine, without the hype.

Sea Moss on the Outside: Our Body Care

Our sea moss body care line is made for an everyday routine:

  • Sea moss soaps from $7.50: Lavender, Turmeric, Turmeric Sweet Orange, Spearmint Eucalyptus and Red Velvet, plus fragrance-free Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Ocean Blue and Ocean Gold if your skin prefers no scent.
  • Better Body Butter, 4.5 oz, $33.95, made with shea butter, coconut oil and powdered sea moss.
  • Face & Body Serum, 6 oz, $28.95, a botanical serum with rosehip seed, grapeseed, castor and chamomile oils.
  • Sea Moss Soap Bundle, $30.20, if you want to try a few scents.

Whatever you use, the basics still do most of the work: gentle cleansing, moisturizer, sunscreen, water and sleep.

Sea Moss on the Inside

Sea moss is naturally rich in minerals like iodine, potassium, magnesium and calcium, plus fiber, which makes it a nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet. We don't claim it changes your skin. We do think a routine you keep is better than one you start over every month, and 2 tablespoons of gel a day is easy to keep. If you'd like it to taste like fruit, try a fruit-infused gel.

Skin conditions like acne, eczema, dermatitis or burns need a dermatologist or doctor, not a food. If any product irritates your skin, stop using it. Sea moss is naturally rich in iodine, so check with a healthcare professional before taking it if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a thyroid condition.
