Why we're obsessed with moss bowls.
Bringing a touch of the outside into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing.
Having a moss bowl centre stage in your space can reduce stress and anxiety levels, boost serotonin levels and, in turn, improve your mood - ready to either be super productive or super chilled.
Five reasons to love
- No maintenance. Caring for your moss bowl requires zero time or effort.
- Long lasting. Left alone and kept indoors and out of direct sunlight it could last for 10 years+.
- Good for you. Preserved moss is thought to have a calming effect. Studies have shown how the presence of greenery lowers anxiety and stress and promotes wellbeing.
- Non-allergenic. Moss does not contain pollen. Any spores are removed during the preservation process, so your moss bowl shouldn’t cause problems for people with allergies.
- Non-toxic. Preserved moss is not poisonous when touched and considered safe for use in homes, offices and other spaces.
The preservation process
Once the moss is gathered, it goes through a four step process to give it the vibrance and texture to be a show stopping piece in your space:
STEP ONE: The moss is brushed so it is clear of pine needles and leaves.
STEP TWO: The moss is dried to remove excess moisture that would cause mould or decay,
STEP THREE: The water is replaced with glycerine, a natural substance which maintains the structure and natural beauty of the plant.
STEP FOUR: For some of our products, natural food dyes are used to replace any colour lost during the preservation process.
