Prop 65 Warning: Should You Be Concerned?Updated 2 months ago

Great question! 

Basically, Proposition 65 requires us to display warnings even if there's a small amount of naturally occurring heavy metals. Sea moss contains a level of heavy metals naturally, and so do fibers and almost all earth-based products. That alert is required for us to sell in California.

Heavy metals come from all earth-based products. Heavy metals are naturally occurring in our oceans and waterways. Minerals come from oceans, earth-based mines, and lakes. So, depending on the location source, the heavy metal content can vary. All natural-based products, minerals, seaweeds, etc have heavy metal content, which is why we are so strict with testing to ensure safe levels. Processing can rid a lot of it, but not all of it. 

All manufacturers of sea moss and other herbs are required to display this, but they hide it and are not compliant. Most just don’t follow the rules—but we do!

We take great care in sourcing and testing our products to ensure they meet the highest quality standards.
