Dead Sea Mud Mask Ingredients

Ingredients

What is it?

Benefits

Deionized Water

Besides being used as a solvent for active ingredients, deionized water also acts as a spreading agent. So it is an important ingredient and you will see it listed as the first ingredient for virtually every type of cosmetic and personal care products.

Regular tap water contains minute quantities of substances, such as chlorine, sulphates, and various metal ions that could interfere with a product’s stability and performance. This is why we only use deionized water that is free of toxins, pollutants and microbes in our formulation

    • Unlike tap water, this non-harsh water is gentle on skin and free of sulphates and other pollutants that can strip skin of their natural oils.

Dead Sea Mud

Located between Jordan and Israel, the Dead sea has been evolving for thousands of years to form a rich mud bank containing high concentrations of salts and minerals.  It has high concentrations of magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium as well as clay and nutrients that absorb into our skin and work wonders for our health. The Dead Sea is the world's greatest natural spa and it’s been studied extensively for its health benefits, and has been found to act as a brilliant alternative to traditional medical treatments that you can get over the counter.

Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin is derived from plant seed oils like palm, coconut, or soy and is a natural humectant, which is something my entire bod craves all year round.

    • When used with other natural oils and ingredients, it can seal in moisture on the top layer of our skin while the other oils work their way deep into our cells to provide long-lasting moisture.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the nut of an indigenous American shrub that goes by the scientific name Simmondsia chinensis. Jojoba oil is unique in that, unlike most other vegetable oils, it closely resembles sebum, a waxy substance produced by our skin glands, so it can act as a natural skin conditioner.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. A type of carbohydrate (made up of simple sugars), it binds to water and helps to lubricate eyes, joints, muscles, and yes, skin. That’s why you’ll find it most often in anti-aging and moisturizing products.

P-anisic acid

This ingredient is derived from anise, a flowering plant native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. P-Anisic acid is found naturally in the plant, and has antiseptic or germ-killing properties. You’ll find it in some natural or organic skin care products instead of potentially toxic preservatives like parabens.

    • Antiseptic that kills germs and unwanted bacteria to preserve skin and product formula

Xanthan gum

This ingredient is another carbohydrate made through fermentation. Manufacturers use sugar from soy, wheat, dairy, or corn, and add a particular type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campetris. The result is a slimy substance that helps to thicken and emulsify skin care formulas.

Even though it may not sound very appetizing, remember that things like beer, sauerkraut, and other everyday items are made through similar fermentation processes. Foods such as ice cream, baked goods, salad dressings, jams and sauces may also include Xanthan Gum. Those who are gluten-sensitive may want to be careful due to the wheat content , but otherwise, this one is harmless in skin care. In foods, it can cause digestive upset in some sensitive people.

    • Naturally thickens and preserves formula
