Carrageenan(Chondrus Crispus Powder)

Chondrus Crispus Powder(Carrageenan) is produced by harvesting Irish moss seaweed, which is then thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities. The seaweed is dried, usually through sun-drying or low-heat methods, preserving its nutrients. Once dried, it is finely ground into a powder form and standardized for use in cosmetics.

Chondrus Crispus Powder is valued in the beauty industry for its rich polysaccharide content, mainly carrageenan, that acts as a natural thickening and gelling agent with excellent moisturizing properties. Also known as Irish Moss Powder, it is derived from seaweed and contains good-for-the-skin vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and texture enhancing properties. In its raw form, Chondrus Crispus Powder appears as a fine, light beige to pale brown powder that forms a gel-like texture in water-based products. It is largely a safe ingredient and supports most skin and hair types.
