Tips and Tricks

🛠️ Sea Moss Gel – Troubleshooting:

❓ “My gel is warm—should I be worried?”

Nope! We make your sea moss fresh to order  (it can last on the counter for up to 10 days)—not frozen or pre-stocked. It’s completely normal for it to arrive at room temperature or even a little warm. Just pop it in the fridge right away, and it will firm up. This only applies for direct orders placed online, DM's or via text message.

❓ “How fresh is the sea moss at the farm stand?”

We drop off fresh sea moss gel twice a week—Tuesday evening and Friday evening. This means your jar never sits longer than 5 days. Once purchased take it home, and make sure to refrigerate it right away and use within 3 weeks (21 days) for the best quality and benefits.

❓ “My sea moss gel looks a little different this time—why?”

Great question! Because we use real, wild-harvested sea moss, the color and texture may vary slightly from jar to jar. That’s a good thing—it means it’s the real deal, not pool-grown or overly processed.

❓ “Can I freeze my sea moss gel?”

Yes! You can freeze it for up to 6 months—just make sure to transfer it out of the glass jar first. Use a freezer-safe container to prevent breakage.

❓ “How do I know if my sea moss gel has gone bad?”

Your gel should have a fresh, ocean-like scent and smooth texture. If it smells sour, has an off odor, or shows signs of mold, it’s time to toss it. This is rare when properly stored.
For best results, use your gel within 3 weeks (21 days), but it can last up to 30 days when kept refrigerated at all times and handled with a clean spoon each time.

❓ “How do I take sea moss gel?”

You can take 1–2 tablespoons per day straight from the jar with a clean spoon each time or add it to:

Smoothies

Herbal teas

Oatmeal or yogurt

Soups or broths

Homemade salad dressings

Avoid cooking it at high heat to preserve the minerals!

❓ “Do I need to use a clean spoon every time?”

Yes, please! Always use a clean spoon when scooping your gel. Introducing bacteria from used utensils (or fingers!) can cause it to spoil faster. Treat it like you would fresh homemade food—clean and cared for.

❓ "What is sea moss gel supposed to taste like?"

Sea moss gel has a naturally mild, ocean-like taste when unflavored. Once we blend it with fresh fruit, it takes on a soft, fruity flavor—but don’t expect it to taste like a jar of jelly! It’s not meant to be overly sweet or dessert-like. If it does taste like candy, it probably has added sugars or artificial ingredients (which we never use). Our blends are clean, light, and just enough to make your daily spoonful pleasant and nourishing. 

❓ “Can I mix it with other supplements?”

Yes—sea moss works well alongside most natural wellness routines. But if you’re on medication or managing a health condition, always check with your doctor.

❓ “It’s thick/thin—can I blend it or add water?”

Yes, if you want a smoother texture, just blend it with a bit of spring water. The texture can thicken or loosen slightly depending on your fridge temp, but that’s totally normal.

❓ “Can kids take sea moss?”

Yes! Many parents give their kids a smaller dose (½–1 tsp daily). Always start slow and watch for any sensitivity.

❓ “Can I use it on my skin or hair?”

Absolutely! Sea moss is known for its soothing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory properties. Apply a small amount as a face mask or hair conditioner for a mineral-rich treatment.
