How to Make Sea Moss Oil for Skin

For ultimate hydration, a sea moss oil infusion is best. This can restore moisture to damaged and dehydrated skin. It can also reduce skin irritation that comes from dryness. Oil made with sea moss is also ideal for those with aging or very dry skin. This oil can be used on its own or blended with other ingredients to make lip balms, body scrubs, and lotions (more details, follow this recipe).  

Another great reason to make sea moss oil is because it has a longer shelf life. Sea moss gel in products will require refrigeration if any is left over, but sea moss oil will not. It will generally last for several years if kept in a cool, dark place. 

Look at the expiration on the bottle of carrier oil you use and this will tell you what the expiration of your oil will be. Write this date on your bottle of sea moss infused oil so you can keep track easier.  

Because the following recipe is an oil infusion, you will need to choose a carrier oil you think is best for your needs. Carrier oils are base oils used to dilute essential oils or make oil infusions with plants.  

They are often made from plants themselves. Some examples of popular carrier oils include rose hip oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, castor oil, and jojoba oil. Each carrier oil has its own special benefits for skin. 

Whether you want to make a sea moss infused oil to address dry skin or acne, you can find a carrier oil that works best for your conditions.

Carrier Oils to Use

Below is a list of common carrier oils you can use in your sea moss-infused oil and a short description of what each oil can do for skin:  

• Olive oil: Olive oil is in the cupboard of most people’s kitchens. It is popular for healthy cooking, but can be very nurturing to the skin. It is hydrating and moisturizing for dry skin.  
• Coconut oil: Coconut oil is very thick, but this is because it is the only carrier oil listed here that solidifies at room temperature.  It is a very nourishing carrier oil and has anti-fungal properties, making it useful for fungal skin conditions like ringworm or yeast infections of the skin.  It is lightweight when applied, but thicker than sweet almond oil.  Coconut oil will need special conditions for infusion since it is a solid.  See the special instructions in the recipe below if you wish to use this oil. 
• Avocado oil: Avocado oil is highly emollient and deeply moisturizing. It is full of omega three fatty acids that work to soothe and tighten skin. Like rose hip, it is great for aging skin.  
• Castor oil: Castor oil is the thickest of the carrier oils and will likely need to be blended with another, lighter carrier oil to use in this recipe.  It is highly beneficial for reducing inflammation and providing relief for irritated skin.  Blend one part castor oil with two parts jojoba or sweet almond oil for best results.  
• Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is perfect if you are looking to create a sea moss oil infusion with a long shelf life.  Jojoba oil is actually more of a liquid wax, so it lasts three to six years in the right conditions.  Although it is a wax, it is actually lightweight. This makes it ideal for acne prone skin.  Its antioxidant content lends to its long shelf life, which is also a good thing for the skin.  Antioxidants can prevent oxidative damage to the skin when used regularly.
• Rose hip oil: Rose hip oil is a medium to thick carrier oil. It is optimal for use on aging skin prone to wrinkles and fine lines. It may help to tighten and tone sagging skin.
• Black Seed Oil: contain nutrients deeply hydrate and protect the skin, leaving it looking smooth and healthy. Additionally, black seed oil contains a range of natural antioxidants that help to repair damaged cells and reduce signs of aging. So if you’re looking for a nourishing cornerstone for your skincare collection, consider adding some black seed oil to your rotation!
• Sweet almond oil: Sweet almond oil is the perfect carrier oil to use for acne prone skin.  It won’t clog pores like some thicker oils do. It is lightweight and not as greasy when applied to the skin.  It absorbs into the skin better. However, it is not as long-lasting as other carrier oils.  While most carrier oils last several years, almond oil may last one year. It tends to go rancid faster.

Sea Moss Oil for Skin Recipe

Once you have decided on a carrier oil to use for your skin, you are ready to follow the steps below to make sea moss oil:

1. You will need cleaned and dried sea moss for this recipe. When it is sufficiently dried, chop it up into small pieces and fill a small glass jar.  
2. Completely cover the chopped sea moss with a carrier oil. (See the above list of carrier oils for different issues to choose the best one for your needs). *If you chose coconut oil as your carrier oil, make sure to melt the coconut oil first. Do this by placing it in a pan of hot water until you have the amount you need to make this oil infusion. Cover your plant material with the melted coconut oil and then sit the glass container of sea moss and coconut oil in a pan of hot water to infuse for twenty four hours. Strain it out at the end of this period and pour it in a bottle to store. It will re-solidify, so using this oil infusion will require you to dig it out as needed to apply to the skin (as opposed to using a liquid carrier oil that can be placed in a roller bottle and applied directly to skin that way).  
3. Make sure no plant material is exposed and everything is covered in oil. Place the lid on the jar and shake it well. Sit it in a cool, dark place for one month. 
4. At the end of a month, loosen the lid and place the jar in a pan of hot water for six to ten hours. This doesn’t need to be on high heat, just enough to keep the water surrounding the jar very warm.  
5. Strain out the oil through a cheesecloth and squeeze the cheesecloth with the sea moss inside to get the rest of the oil out.  
6. Bottle the oil infusion in a tinted glass bottle (sunlight can harm oils) and store it in a cool, dark place.  
7. Massage a small amount of this into the skin up to twice daily or as needed to control dry skin and promote suppleness. This is best used after the skin exfoliating and face mask treatments.
