What's Happening

What is the Sea Moss Care trend?

Sea Moss Care: Sea moss is becoming the newest "natural" trend in the personal care space, with everything from skincare products to supplements incorporating the ingredient for its soothing and energizing benefits.

Insight

The consumer insight behind the Sea Moss Care trend

Consumers' trust in "natural" ingredients comes from the familiarity these ingredients offer them. Knowing that something is grown outdoors with limited processing makes them more comfortable with applying it topically, or ingesting it.
