A much loved balm for its exceptional hydrating and skin repairing properties. 

Carraigín (Irish Sea Moss) is the traditional and Irish name (scientific name Chondrus Crispus) given to this native seaweed by our Irish ancestors who have used this plant ancestrally for thousands of years.

"Carraigín" translates to "little rock" with helps identify the habitat in which this sea kelp lives on the Atlantic northernly shores of Ireland. 

A seaweed scientifically and traditionally known for being nutrient dense with high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. As a wonderful natural food for the skin, this beautifully calming and repairing balm is ideal to help assist with the following:

  • Rashes and irritated skin 
  • Moisturise and hydrate dry and chapped skin
  • Promote collagen production (reduce the appearance of fine lines)
  • Protect the skin from environmental damage
  • Reduce scarring
  • Help repair minor cuts, grazes and blisters

Our Carraigín Skin Repair Balm is ideal for those that suffer from breakouts due to its antimicrobial characteristics.
