Mineral or Sea Salts have therapeutic characteristics already proven over the centuries. Some of the benefits include regeneration of cells, the exchange of minerals and toxins between the body and water, and pain relief.
Sea salts are derived from a wide variety of saltwater deposits. Some of the most popular are Dead Sea Salts, Celtic Sea Salts, and Hawaiian Sea Salts. These natural bath salts combined with natural essential oils serve to nourish the skin, while relaxing the whole body, and providing physical as well as mental well being while you soak in the tub.
