Ingredient spotlight - Himalayan rock salts
Harvested from the Himalayan foothills, often from the Pakistan region, pink Himalayan salt is renowned for its characteristic rosy hue that comes from a wide range of trace minerals, including magnesium and potassium. These minerals give it unique benefits when used in cosmetics.
Healing benefits of rock salts
Pink Himalayan rock salt can help your skin retain moisture and promote nourishment, which makes it an ideal ingredient for a spa-like treat in your own home. Himalayan rock salt promotes restoration in your skin's cells by stripping away dead skin and layering up a protective shield. Rock salts helps your pores open up to release built-up dirt, grime, and other nasty toxins. Having a salt bath helps to release all the gunk and the rock salts cleanse pores and keep them clean.
Because of their long time developing underground, Himalayan salt has a high potency of minerals and other stimulating compounds. While regular salt is generally made up of sodium and chloride, pink rock salts contain over 84 other highly beneficial minerals. This includes iron, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, all of which have medicinal benefits for the skin.
Certain minerals like magnesium can assist in reducing inflammation and boosting pain relief. They improve blood circulation and relieve aches from tense muscles. Breathing in vapors released from bath salts containing rock salts has been shown to have benefits. There can be improvements to the respiratory system that can lessen symptoms of asthma, colds, sinus inflammation, and allergies that clog our airways. Acting as a natural disinfectant, salt has also been known to prevent viruses and bacteria on the skin.
