INCI: Sodium Chloride
Mineral-rich crystals for physical exfoliation, smoothing, and refreshing body-care rituals.
What Is Sea Salt?
Sea Salt is a naturally occurring mineral ingredient composed primarily of sodium chloride. It is produced through the evaporation of seawater, leaving behind crystalline salt along with naturally occurring trace minerals that vary according to geographic source and processing.
In personal care, Sea Salt can serve several functions depending on the formulation. Its crystalline structure makes it particularly useful as a physical exfoliant, while its mineral character has made salt a traditional component of bathing and body-care rituals.
Benefits
When used as a physical exfoliant, Sea Salt helps loosen and remove accumulated dead surface skin cells, leaving rough or dry-feeling areas smoother and more refined.
The exfoliating action also helps prepare the skin for the botanical oils, butters, and other conditioning ingredients incorporated into a complete body-care ritual.
Sea Salt + Physical Exfoliation
Unlike chemical exfoliants that work through acids or enzymes, Sea Salt provides mechanical exfoliation as its crystals are gently massaged across the skin.
Crystal size, shape, concentration, and the surrounding formulation all influence the exfoliating experience. For this reason, salt-based products should be formulated and used with consideration for the area of the body and the desired level of exfoliation.
Sea Salt + Mineral Body Care
Mineral bathing has a long history in personal-care rituals, and salt remains a familiar ingredient in bath soaks, scrubs, and other mineral-focused body products.
While sea salt may naturally contain trace minerals depending on its source, Sodium Chloride remains its primary component. We therefore avoid attributing specific mineral or therapeutic effects to Sea Salt unless supported by the composition of the particular material being used.
Why We Use Sea Salt
At Pure Intox, Sea Salt is selected for mineral and body-care formulations where its natural crystalline structure and mineral character contribute to intentional bathing, soaking, and exfoliating rituals.
In Pure Concentrated Mineral Salts, salt forms the foundation of a mineral-focused bath soak designed to transform an everyday bath into a restorative body-care ritual.
In exfoliating formulations, salt can also provide physical texture that helps remove accumulated surface skin cells while complementing botanical oils and other conditioning ingredients.
