When exposed to low temperatures, Chondrus crispus (Irish Moss) synthesizes a dipeptide which is rich in nitrogen: citrulline-arginine. This dipeptide is metabolized by the algae in the spring to stimulate its growth. Citrullyl-arginine is extracted and when applied on the skin is very moisturizing and energizing and allows cells to maintain optimal activity even in extreme conditions and to resist skin dehydration by building up the skin’s barrier. This is especially useful during the winter months when the air is dryer and skin exposed to extreme cold experiences sluggish metabolism and is subject to irritation.
