Irish Moss
Irish Moss, also known as Chondrus crispus, is a red seaweed from which polysaccharide Carageenan is extracted. Our Kosher certified Irish Moss (Carageenan) is a suitable alternative to gelatin for vegetarians or vegans. There are different types of Carageenan, each with unique rheological properties. Kanten Solutions’ Carageenan is a Calcium Iota type, which offers better electrolyte tolerance and elastic gelling properties.
Irish Moss (Carageenan) has been used in the food industry for centuries and now, as an emulsion stabilizer and rheology modifier, it can also be used in natural bath, body, and skin care products. When incorporated into creams and lotions, it provides a more fluid, mobile consistency. With its pseudoplastic property, it can develop thick creams that are easily packaged in bottles. In hair care gels, Irish Moss (Carageenan) adds smoothness and activates curls, while being gentle enough to avoid build-up and flaking. Irish Moss (Carageenan) is a proven and straightforward ingredient that can enhance the performance of natural products.
