Organic Irish Moss Powder (Comext) is a bulk, food-grade red algae (seaweed) powder supplied for B2B manufacturing. It is produced from dried Irish moss seaweed that is milled into a fine powder for efficient handling, batching, and blending in industrial production.
In finished products, Irish moss is commonly used as a plant-based texturizer because Irish moss seaweeds are naturally rich in carrageenan-type polysaccharides, which are widely utilized for thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing functions in food and personal care applications. Formulators often include Irish moss powder in “sea moss/seaweed,” “plant-based,” and “clean-label texture” concepts; final claims and label language should be validated for the target market and product category.
Applications
- Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powder blends, stick packs)
- dry mixes, nutrition powders, instant drinks)
- Food formulation / texturizing systems where seaweed-derived polysaccharides are used for viscosity and stability (application-dependent)
- Cosmetic & personal care (seaweed/botanical positioning; usage depends on INCI, regional cosmetics rules, and formula testing)
