Iceland moss extract

The name Iceland moss, suggests it is a moss, but in reality it is a lichen that is a symbiosis between a fungus and an algae. For thousands of years Iceland moss has been an edible folk medicine due to its soothing and antimicrobial effects. Iceland moss also provides anti-inflammatory, softening and antiseptic properties to the skin, so it is no surprise that Iceland moss extract is a valuable, nature provided ingredient used in skincare products. Added to creams, lotions and gels, it cleanses, moisturises and brings soothing relief to your skin. Iceland moss extract also acts as a universal anti-ageing treatment to increase the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
