If you’re looking for a powerful natural ingredient to add to your beauty and wellness routine, Sea Moss is the ocean’s gift you didn’t know you needed! Also known as Irish Moss, this mineral-rich seaweed is packed with 92 of the 102 minerals your body needs. Whether you want glowing skin or a nourishing smoothie boost, here’s your ultimate guide to rehydrating and using sea moss.
💧 How to Rehydrate Dried Sea Moss
Step 1: Rinse Thoroughly
Place your dried Sea Moss in a bowl and rinse it with clean, filtered water to remove any debris, sand, or salt. Do this at least 2–3 times.
Step 2: Soak It
Place the clean Sea Moss in a bowl and cover it with filtered water. Allow it to soak for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature. It will expand and soften, turning into a jelly-like texture.
Tip: You don’t need to boil Sea Moss! Soaking preserves more nutrients.
Step 3: Blend Into a Gel
Drain the soaked moss (keep the water—it’s mineral-rich!). Add the sea moss to a blender with a little soaking water and blend until smooth and creamy. Store the gel in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
