"Soon, friends and family started asking me to make products for them and it went from there. I tried a few different things, applying it externally in products as well as in smoothies and people swear by it. It comes in a range of different varieties and is totally organic.”

Lisa went into business with Elaine Lowes, an aromatherapy and holistic practitioner, to launch Moss Minerals as a business.

She said: "All our products are 100% organic, with no parabens or chemicals. I also grow my own herbs which I infuse in the products."

"I think people’s views certainly changed in lockdown and they began looking into what’s in products and investing in their health.”

She added: “We’ve also launched shampoo and conditioner because a lot of people have been experiencing problems with their hair due to stress.”

Sea moss, a species of seaweed, is said to have a number of health benefits including thyroid and gut health, as well as overall immunity.
