Brine-mother water is a highly concentrated seawater that is formed in the process of seawater evaporation as part of the production of sea salt. Seawater, running through a system of salt pans, crystallizes into salt in the last basins. When the salt workers collect the salt, a densely concentrated liquid-brine remains. Due to the evaporation processes, the resulting brine has a higher density and a higher content of dissolved salts than sea water. Beside sodium chloride brine contains higher amounts of magnesium, calcium and potassium salts (mainly as chlorides, bromides, carbonates, sulphates, iodides). Because our body is unable to produce minerals, the absorption of minerals from the brine through the skin is of exceptional importance. The minerals present in the brine contribute to the normal functioning of the skin and maintain its radiant appearance and natural pH.

Usage and tips:
Brine can be used in a variety of ways and is cherished in natural body care. Brine - mother water can be used for cleansing and facial care, as a tonic or face mask. By adding brine to the bath, we speed up the blood circulation of the whole body and thus the elimination of waste products from the body contributing to more toned, elastic and youthful skin. As a foot bath, the brine has a beneficial effect on tired feet and softens the rough skin of the feet, which becomes more supple and soft. The brine can also be used as a natural deodorant, as it inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause an unpleasant odor in the armpit area. Brine as a mouthwash helps to establish a balanced oral flora and serves as an addition to your daily oral hygiene. The brine also helps maintain the freshness of hair and curls, and with regular use it also helps prevent the formation of oily scalp.
As a face tonic: Soak a cotton pad with brine and apply it on a clean face. Avoid the area around the eyes and mouth. Let it work for a few minutes. Rinse face with lukewarm water after use. We recommend using it twice a week, but in the case of acne and problematic skin, the brine can also be used more often.
As a face mask: Mix the brine with milk in a 1: 5 ratio. Soak a cotton cloth you will be using as a facial mask, in the prepared mix and apply it to the face for 10 minutes. Avoid the area around the eyes and mouth. Remove the wrap and rinse your face with lukewarm water. If needed apply a moisturizer on your face after use. We recommend using it 1 to 2 times a week.
In the shower: After applying a shower gel, put a small amount of brine in the palm of your hand and apply it to the wet skin. Gently massage the skin for 3 to 5 minutes using circular movements and then rinse the body with fresh water.
As a bath: Fill the tub with water of temperature of 25 to 38 °C. Add cca 200 ml of brine to your favourite bath. Enjoy the bath for 20 to 25 minutes, then take a shower with warm water. You can increase the brine effect by resting wrapped-up in a warm blanket or towel for another 30 minutes.
As a foot bath: Before the bath, we recommend exfoliating the skin of your feet using salt, paying special attention to the heels and edges of the feet where the skin is thicker. In this way, you will remove the dead skin cells and restore the softness of the skin, while your feet will be able to better adsorb the precious brine minerals. Prepare the bath by adding 50 ml of brine to 5 liters of warm water. Soak your feet in the prepared bath for 15 minutes. After the bath, rinse your feet and thoroughly wipe them dry. Apply a moisturizing foot cream or lotion to provide the skin with the required moisture.
Hair care: Apply the usual amount of hair shampoo to your palm and add a few drops of brine. Rub the prepared mixture first into the scalp and then along the entire length of the hair. The hair is then rinsed with water and dried. You can use the brine every time you wash your hair.
