A NEW SUPERFOOD

Sea moss is a type of seaweed that is clear or translucent cream color. Sea moss is obtained from the ocean and it can be eaten raw, cooked in a soup, or in a pill form, and it is abundant in bio active antioxidants and anti inflammatory aspects. It is also rich in zinc, potassium, magnesium and sulfur which can all benefit the skin and hair. 

SEAMOSS BENEFITS 

Sea moss is moisturizing because it contains high amounts of Polysaccharides, which are essentially a long sugar molecule. These molecules are found in cellulose. Cellulose is a key aspect of having tight and firm skin for plumpness and youth. By eating sea moss, you will see the moisturizing aspect appear in the skin to decrease wrinkles and fine lines.

VITAMINS IN SEA MOSS 

Due to the Zinc and Sulfur concentrations, it has anti-inflammatory properties. This can reduce swelling and irritation especially in those with acne and eczema. Sulfur is antibacterial and antimicrobial. Sulfur will decrease the germs on the skin, and the amount of sebum produced. 

Most importantly, sea moss increases photo protection from UV ray exposures. Because of this it protects against free radicals that may develop as we expose our skin to the sun. Sea moss has high antioxidants, specifically fucoidan. Fucoidan is a polysaccrides found in the cell wall of many algae and seaweed.This antioxidant can also be found in other brown algae and seaweed.This type of antioxidant helps against damage for the skin and the hair.

Sea moss and our skin have similar properties when it concerns the skin barrier.  Sea moss has many proteins similar to the skin.  Sea moss leaves a layer of protection over the skin, this decreases the word our actual skin barrier needs to do. Our skin barrier is important to filter out the toxins in the air that our skin absorbs.
