Mineral Salts (Ingredient Explained + Products)

Dry skin is often characterized by redness, itchiness, tightness, flaking, peeling, and cracking. Dryness can be caused by a variety of factors: genetics, over-exfoliating, climate, diet, age, and skin conditions.

May cause Irritation

Skin irritation can arise from a number of reasons: very dry skin, sensitivity to certain ingredients, allergies, dermatitis, bug bites, eczema, rosacea, and illness are common factors.

Rosacea may be genetic or triggered by mites, bacteria, or blood vessel issues. The most common symptom is redness of the face.

Eczema is also known as Atopic Dermatitis. Common symptoms include redness of the skin, itchiness, patches of rough skin, and small bumps.

Mineral Salts are salt (like the kind we eat) that contains minerals such as calcium or magnesium. Depending on the product, salt in skincare can be an abrasive, thickener, or preservative.

This ingredient may dry out the skin.
