How to Make Sea Moss Gel at Home (Step-by-Step Guide)

Making your own sea moss gel at home is simple — and a great way to get the most out of wildcrafted sea moss. Whether you’re new to sea moss or just want a refresher, this step-by-step guide walks you through exactly how to do it right.

🛒 What You'll Need:

• Raw wildcrafted sea moss (Gold, Purple, or Full Spectrum)

• Spring water 

• Lime (helps mask taste)

• A large bowl

• A high-speed blender

• A clean glass jar with a lid. (Mason Jar)

🔄 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Rinse Your Sea Moss Thoroughly

Place your dried sea moss in a large bowl and rinse it with cool water. Use your hands to gently remove any debris, sand, or sea particles.

Tip: At Sunflower Wellness, our sea moss is pre-cleaned and sun-dried — but rinsing before soaking is always recommended. Never skip the cleaning process with your sea moss. 

2. Soak for 12–24 Hours

Submerge the rinsed sea moss in spring water, add fresh lime and let it soak at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. It will expand and become soft, jelly-like, and translucent.

Do not boil — this can reduce its mineral content. Some prefer that method, at Sunflower Wellness we stick to a no heat option for our product.

3. Blend Into Gel

Drain the soaking water (you can keep a little for your plants 🌱). Add the soaked sea moss to a blender with spring water using a 1:1 ratio. Blend until smooth and creamy. Repeat blending to your desired texture.

• For thicker gel: use less water

• For looser gel: use more water

4. Store in the Fridge

Transfer your blended sea moss gel into a sterilized glass jar with a lid that is air-tight. Let it chill and set in the refrigerator for a few hours.

• Fridge life: Up to 3–4 weeks (pro-tip store in the BACK of the refrigerator.)

• Freezer life: Up to 6 months (freeze in cubes for convenience)

💡 Usage Tips

• Take 1–2 tablespoons daily

• Add to smoothies, teas, soups, oatmeal, or skincare

• Always use a clean spoon to avoid spoilage
