The new decade is seeing a rise in “clean” and natural beauty. One ingredient that’s been on a lot of people’s radars recently is sea moss, which Byrdie notes as a vegan ingredient that’s being added to juices, smoothies, and skincare products.
Sea moss has high vitamin and mineral content that has antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial functions, as well as hydrating properties. It’s also rich in sulfur which can help decrease excessive sebum production in the skin.
Is this the right skincare ingredient for you? We’ve listed down some products you can cop ASAP.
