Chondrus crispus, also known as Irish moss, is a type of red algae rich in carrageenan that acts as a thickener and stabilizer. These algae are also rich sources of natural polysaccharides with promising properties, such as antioxidant, photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antimelanogenic activities. Its antioxidant effect is attributed to polyphenols.(1-2)
