Before You Begin

Patch-test a small area before applying sea moss gel to your skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes, and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Always use a clean utensil and follow the storage and use-by instructions provided with your sea moss gel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sea moss gel is not formulated or tested as a daily skincare product, so begin with occasional use rather than applying it every day. Patch-test a small area first and discontinue use if you notice redness, itching, burning or other irritation. Avoid the eyes and broken or irritated skin.

There is no established schedule for using sea moss gel as a hair mask. If you choose to try it, begin with occasional use and see how your hair and scalp respond. Apply a small amount to damp hair, rinse thoroughly afterward and discontinue use if irritation or unwanted buildup develops.

We do not recommend leaving sea moss gel on your face or hair overnight. It is a refrigerated food product rather than a formulated leave-on cosmetic. Use it as a short, rinse-off treatment, avoid contact with the eyes and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Skin sensitivities vary, and a food product that is safe to eat may still irritate the skin. Patch-test a small amount before wider application and wait to see how your skin responds. Do not apply it to broken, inflamed or irritated skin. Stop using it and seek appropriate medical advice if a reaction occurs.
