Seaweed Gum (Carrageenan)

Used in cosmetics as a thickening agent with water-binding properties that help prolong the shelf life of products.

Derived from a species of red seaweed (commonly knowns as Irish moss), Seaweed Gum helps skincare and cosmetic products achieve a smooth, creamy texture. A natural thickener and emulsifier (helping to bind water and oil based ingredients together), Seaweed Gum aids longevity of products whilst helping to lock in moisture and retain skin hydration.
