Eczema & psoriasis -

White blood cells are signaled through blood into the affected area to remove dirt, dead, and unfunctional cells initiating the grounds for healing.

The sulfur content in sea moss owns anti-bacterial properties focusing on controlling acne and eczema breakouts by destroying bacterial build-ups and the exfoliation of unhealthy skin cells.

Vitamins A (Retinol) E (Tocopherol) & C (Ascorbic Acid) are highly combative in neutralizing oxidative stress in cells vastly reducing inflammation in the process. With the inflammation reduced the compounds get to work on the healing stage of the skin. With all 3 A/E&C engaged in sebum gland regulation and correct hydration.
