Chondrus Crispus (Sea Moss) Extract

Chondrus Crispus Extract (oil-soluble) is derived from Irish moss, a red algae species harvested from cold Atlantic waters, processed to extract its lipophilic bioactive compounds including fatty acids, sterols, and carotenoids. Unlike the water-soluble carrageenan form, this oil-soluble variant provides skin-conditioning benefits and forms a protective lipid barrier on the skin's surface. Formulators choose this extract for its unique combination of marine minerals, antioxidant compounds, and its ability to enhance the sensory profile of oil-based formulations while delivering ocean-derived nutrients to the skin.
