A Tradition Passed Down for Generations
Sea moss is a type of red algae that grows along the rocky coastlines of the Caribbean, Ireland, and parts of Europe. For centuries, communities have relied on it as a natural source of nourishment, preparing it in drinks, soups, and tonics.
Eucheuma Cottonii – The St. Lucian Sea Moss
At St. Lucia Sea Moss®, we specialise in Eucheuma Cottonii, the variety most commonly grown in St. Lucia. This sea moss is sustainably cultivated in protected coastal waters, naturally sun-dried under the Caribbean sun, and carefully hand-sorted to ensure premium quality.
When prepared, it becomes a smooth gel that can be added to smoothies, teas, porridges, or even skincare routines. Known for its impressive mineral content, Eucheuma Cottonii has become a modern staple for people looking to connect with nature and nourish their bodies in a simple, plant-based way.
From the Caribbean to the World
Though sea moss has long been part of island culture, it was brought to global attention when herbalist Dr. Sebi recommended it as part of his plant-based teachings. Today, it’s embraced worldwide, not as a trend, but as a tradition rediscovered.
