Oyinkansola Yusuff
Hello everyone, my name is Oyinkansola Yusuff, and I am a co-
founder of Moss & Glow Seamoss Gel. Since my late teens, I
battled with a skin condition known as psoriasis, which
affected significant areas of my body, including my arms,
legs, and, most noticeably, my face. I struggled with raw
patches on my deeply melanated skin, and as an actress, I
often found myself relying on makeup to conceal my
condition.
Being a Nigerian woman, I was inundated with suggestions
for various remedies, from ointments to traditional teas,
none of which provided relief and only deepened my sense
of hopelessness. I consulted my local GP, but no
prescription improved my skin, leading me to accept defeat
and believe there was no cure.
One day i met now co-founder Jessica Richards , while
collaborating on a hair show. We thereafter moved from the
set to salon, where I was recommended the seamoss
treatment to help clear the psoriasis on my scalp
I was encouraged to take it orally, starting with just one
spoon a day. As the months passed, I noticed others
commenting on the improvements in my skin; the pigment
began to fade, and my skin felt smoother. I remained
skeptical until Jessica pointed out that I was no longer
wearing makeup and had the clearest skin I had experienced
in years. This realization made me acknowledge that
seamoss was the only change in my routine.
Recognizing the transformative power of seamoss, I felt
compelled to help others facing similar challenges, leading
us to join forces and create Moss & Glow. -
Jessica Richards
Hi all, my name is Jessica Richards. I am the co-founder
of Moss and Glow and also the founder of The Mane
Experience Hair Salon. I have been a hairdresser for as
long as I can remember, and within the last four years, I
delved into the hair artistry side as I love to create. From
the young age of eight, I started doing my own hair;
typically for school, this looked like four braids and a
ponytail. As I entered secondary school, I saw more
versatility and more styles, and I learned how to
implement them on myself.
As time went on, I found myself doing hair on the steps
of the school, providing free services for my friends. I’ve
absolutely progressed, and after trialling many hairstyles
and dabbling with chemicals, I ended up destroying my
hair. After shortly working with an old business partner,
I found myself delving into hair care and creating
treatments from scratch, learning the benefits of
different types of oils, plants, and Ayurvedic powders. I
was now styling and treating hair. In the process, I
learned more about sea moss usage in hair and as a health
supplement.
As a Jamaican, I had heard already heard of sea
moss/Irish moss, but I honestly didn’t care to know
about it, until the information found me at a time when
it would stick and also be applied. I had gone on an
alkaline diet and heard more about sea moss and how it
works wonders from the inside out. I decided to dabble
in using it as a hair treatment, and thankfully, I had the
pleasure of helping many, including my now co-founder,
Oyinka Yusuff, through those treatments and also
through the knowledge of the treasure found in nature's
finest.
