Discover the Soothing Power of Mossii’s Peat-Based Humic Extract

The Need for Natural Skincare Solutions

Navigating the world of natural skincare and topical therapeutics can be overwhelming, especially for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin. The skincare market is saturated with products laden with synthetic chemicals, which can exacerbate skin issues rather than alleviate them and even inflame sensitive skin. Moreover, effective treatments usually require time-consuming dermatologist visits and expensive prescriptions.

At Mossii, our goal is to disrupt this cycle and offer an accessible skincare relief solution. Driven by a passion for natural, ethical, and accessible skincare, we turned to the rich natural resources of the Pacific Northwest. After years of meticulous research and rigorous testing, we unearthed the extraordinary healing capabilities of peat—a substance you might associate more with your garden or a glass of fine whisky than skincare.

Read on to learn more about peat and our groundbreaking Relief Mist.

What Exactly is Peat?

Peat is the organic surface layer of soil predominantly found in temperate, boreal, and sub-arctic regions, such as the Pacific Northwest and various parts of Northern Europe. In these specific climates, peat forms through the slow, natural decomposition of plant material, including bryophytes (primarily sphagnum mosses), herbs, shrubs, and small trees.

The Unique Benefits of Peat in Skincare

What makes peat a game-changer in natural skincare is its rich composition. The slow decay of plant matter in these specialized climates results in peat being rich in complex organic compounds collectively known as humic substances. These compounds are a treasure trove of minerals and antioxidants shown to be beneficial for dermatological applications. Humic substances can be further divided into humic acid and fulvic acid, the active ingredients we’ve filtered out from peat to create our potent humic extract used in Mossii Relief Mist.

Quality Matters

It's crucial to understand that not all peat is created equal. Our peat is sustainably harvested from the abundant mountain bogs of the Pacific Northwest, renowned for its high concentrations of humic substances. This ensures that Mossii Relief Mist is formulated with the highest quality ingredients, offering maximum relief to your skin.

Skincare Benefits of Mossii's Humic Extract

Our humic extract offers several key skincare benefits:

  1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The humic extract in our Relief Mist may help soothe skin inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like dermatitis, eczema, and rashes.
  2. Antioxidant Benefits: The natural antioxidants in humic extract can help combat free radicals, which are often responsible for premature aging and skin damage such as fine lines and wrinkles.
  3. Antimicrobial Activities: Both humic and fulvic acids demonstrate antimicrobial properties, offering an added layer of protection against skin irritations that you may encounter while hiking or outdoors.
