Irish Sea Moss & Tremella Hydrosol Cream

Muckross Head

A Luminous Emulsion new to our family of moisturizer

From the windswept Atlantic coastlines of Donegal, where mist clings to emerald cliffs and tides carry stories of generations, comes the legendary Irish sea moss, our hero ingredient. Sustainably harvested by generational wild harvesters in Donegal, this revered seaweed has long been cherished for its ability to bind and retain moisture.

To the ancient Celts, the sea was a realm of transformation and vitality and this humble botanical carries that spirit in every strand. Rich in bio-protective oligosaccharides, essential minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, Irish sea moss helps replenish and deeply hydrate the skin, supporting a more radiant, mineral-rich, and healthy-looking complexion.

Our formulation team set out with a vision: to create a moisturizer unlike anything in our collection. One with the silky, fluid texture of a serum, yet the lush nourishment of a cream. The result is a humectant-rich emulsion overflowing with nature’s most powerful moisture-retainers which are plant-based alternatives to hyaluronic acid. They not only match its plumping, hydrating effects, but in many ways surpass them.

To craft this unique fusion, we turned to the world’s most intelligent hydrators: Irish sea moss, Tremella mushroom, and marshmallow root.

All three are rich in plant-based polysaccharides. These gentle molecules act as prebiotics, feeding and supporting the skin’s microbiome, your skin’s invisible ecosystem, while forming a breathable veil of moisture.

Sometimes called the “beauty mushroom” in traditional Chinese medicine, Tremella,  rich in probiotics and stress combating adaptogens, has been cherished for centuries by empresses for its ethereal ability to hold up to 500 times its weight in water, creating a natural glow and lasting plumpness. Its jelly-like structure mimics hyaluronic acid, but with a smaller molecular weight that allows it to penetrate more deeply into the skin.

Marshmallow Root Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow root, equally revered in European herbal tradition, brings its own quiet power. Much like hyaluronic acid, it is a humectant, drawing and binding water for skin that is plump, smooth, and dewy. Yet its gifts extend far beyond hydration, marshmallow acts as a delivery system, helping other nutrients absorb more deeply. It is also a source of B vitamins like betaine, essential for healthy cell renewal.

Together, these botanicals create a deeply hydrating, fortifying, and barrier-supportive experience. 

At the heart of the formulation is our copper distilled Tulsi HydroSoul, an adaptogen for both skin and spirit. Revered in Ayurvedic tradition, Tulsi helps bring the entire emulsion into balance, infusing it with a sense of clarity and calm.

But we didn’t stop at hydration.

We enriched this cream with potent, antioxidant-rich botanicals to restore and protect the skin from environmental stress. Seabuckthorn (seaberry) brings antioxidants packed with carotenoids, omegas, and vitamin C, giving this cream its sunny hue and its vibrant nourishment and revitalization. Meadowfoam seed, jojoba, and shea butter offer lipid-rich emollience to seal in moisture and guard against water loss.

A curated selection of whole-plant ROC extracts adds a deeper dimension of botanical synergy. Soothing arnica and calendula, brightening licorice root, and rejuvenating gotu kola and immortelle, each bringing regenerative properties that awaken the skin’s natural intelligence.

To complete the formula, we turned to scientifically validated skin allies: MSM and niacinamide. These gentle yet powerful ingredients reduce visible inflammation, support the skin barrier, and improve tone and texture over time.

The result is a weightless yet deeply hydrating emulsion that cushions the skin in moisture, calm, and strength. Essential oil-free and gentle enough for even the most sensitive complexions, this cream is universally beneficial for every skin condition, every age, every season of life.
