By Restoration Sea Moss · Updated July 2025

Why People Love Sea Moss

Sea moss is a mineral-rich red algae known for its versatility in both nutrition and skincare. With over 90% naturally occurring minerals—including iodine, calcium, potassium, and magnesium—this ocean superfood may support your wellness routine when used consistently and correctly.

How to Use Sea Moss Gel

Sea moss gel is the most convenient and popular form of sea moss. It’s smooth, neutral in taste, and easy to incorporate into food or beverages.

  • Serving Size: Start with 1–2 tablespoons per day.
  • Smoothies: Add to your daily smoothie for a creamy texture and mineral boost.
  • Teas or Juices: Stir a spoonful into herbal tea or fruit juice.
  • Soups and Stews: Mix into hot dishes as a natural thickener.
  • Oatmeal or Yogurt: Use as a topping for your breakfast bowl.
  • On its own: Many enjoy sea moss gel directly by the spoonful.
    Note: Sea moss gel should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 3 weeks. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

How to Prepare and Use Dried Sea Moss

If you purchase dried sea moss, you’ll need to clean and prepare it before consumption.

  1. Rinse thoroughly with spring water to remove any sand or debris.
  2. Soak in spring or filtered water for 14–24 hours.
  3. The sea moss will expand and soften. Blend with water until smooth to create gel.

Once you have your gel, you can use it just like our ready-made options!

Using Sea Moss Topically

Sea moss is rich in sulfur, vitamins A and E, and may support the skin’s natural balance. You can apply it directly to your face or hair as a natural mask.

  • Face Mask: Apply a thin layer to clean skin and let sit for 15–20 minutes before rinsing.
  • Hair Mask: Work into the scalp and hair. Leave on for 20–30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Always patch test first to ensure no sensitivity.

When Is the Best Time to Take Sea Moss?

Sea moss gel can be taken morning or evening, depending on your routine:

  • Morning: Add to your smoothie or tea to start the day with minerals.
  • Post-Workout: Use after exercise for natural hydration and muscle support.
  • Evening: Take it before bed as part of a nighttime wellness routine.

Important Reminders

  • Your ideal dose 1–2 tablespoons.
  • Always store sea moss gel in the fridge in an airtight container.
  • If pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult a healthcare provider before use.
