Overview
Sea water is a water that is rich in minerals and obtained from various bodies of salt water such as oceans, seas, and large saltwater lakes (the Dead Sea is a lake, despite the name).
The water has been purified to remove any microorganisms and organic matter, and what remains is a complex mixture of various mineral salts that have beneficial effects on the skin.
Sea water is used as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients in, as well as as a humectant ingredient that increases the water content on the top layer of skin.
