TL;DR
Minerals are vital for maintaining skin function and moisture. The Dead Sea contains high concentrations of Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, and Sodium, which act as Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). They facilitate cell communication and hydration.

Why Minerals Matter
Minerals make up 4% to 5% of the human body and are essential for supporting body functions . In the skin, they are found in both intracellular and extracellular fluids .
-
The Problem: With age and lifestyle stress, the level of minerals in the skin declines .
-
The Solution: Topical application of minerals helps restore these essential elements.
Key Minerals and Their Functions
-
Magnesium (Mg): Known to improve skin conditions and support binding water to the skin .
-
Calcium (Ca): Essential for maintaining the skin's barrier and structure .
-
Potassium (K): Helps balance skin moisture .
-
Sodium (Na): Works with other minerals to draw in hydration .
The Osmotic Pump Mechanism
AHAVA’s Osmoter™ utilizes these minerals to stimulate the "Osmotic Pump." This biological mechanism draws moisture and nutrients from the deep dermis up to the epidermis (the outer layer), where they are needed most . This process rehydrates and smoothes the skin from within.
FAQ
What are NMFs?
NMF stands for Natural Moisturizing Factors. Dead Sea water and salts are listed as natural humectants (NMFs) that actively keep the skin moisturized .
Do minerals help with aging?
Yes, minerals facilitate cell-to-cell communication, leading to cell regeneration and a better skin barrier, which helps prevent premature aging .
Summary
Minerals are not passive ingredients; they are active participants in skin metabolism. By replenishing Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium through Dead Sea products, you support the skin's natural ability to hydrate, regenerate, and function optimally.
