Brine in Cosmetics
The Lepa Vida skincare family has grown with two new products, both based on Brine Aqua Madre – concentrated seawater from the Sečovlje Salt Pans. This natural liquid is up to eight times more concentrated than seawater and is packed with minerals that strengthen the skin barrier and support a healthy-looking complexion.
Brine is a natural elixir that restores balance to the skin, reinforces its protective barrier, and helps maintain a youthful glow.
Brine - Aqua Madre:
The mineral power for a strong skin barrier
Brine contains high concentrations of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and other essential minerals that are key to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. A strong barrier protects against moisture loss, external aggressors, and oxidative stress.
Using brine in cosmetics helps to:
- Strengthen the skin barrier – minerals support the skin’s lipid layer,
- Support skin renewal – magnesium stimulates cell regeneration,
- Soothe and rebalance – minerals reduce irritation and sensitivity.
Brine is the foundation of the new Lepa Vida face cream and cleansing foam, where it enhances the effectiveness of other ingredients and supports complete skincare.
Face Cream with Brine
Our face cream combines the power of brine with other active ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid – delivers moisture to both surface and deeper layers of the skin,
- Aloe vera – soothes and softens,
- Emollients and occlusives – Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, plant-based squalane, argan oil, and olive oil smooth the skin and prevent moisture loss.
Skin protection and antioxidant support
Karanja oil (Pongamia glabra) helps protect the skin from UV damage, Carotenoids (ß-carotene and astaxanthin) from the microalgae Dunaliella salina and Haematococcus pluvialis strengthen the skin’s defense mechanisms and reduce inflammatory responses. The cream is also an excellent choice after sun exposure, when the skin needs nourishment, repair, and protection most.
Cleansing Foam with Brine
The first step in skincare is proper cleansing. That’s why we developed a gentle cleansing foam, which, just like the cream, is enriched with brine.
The foam is:
- Sulfate-free, made with mild surfactants that remove impurities and makeup without drying out the skin,
- Enriched with brine and aloe vera, which nourish, soothe, and protect,
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.
Massage the foam gently onto damp skin, avoiding the eye area, then rinse with warm water.
If you practice double cleansing, apply it as the second step after an oil cleanser. The cleansing foam, with the help of brine, supports the skin barrier while leaving the skin soft, fresh, and balanced.
Lepa Vida:
For radiant and protected skin
The Lepa Vida natural skincare line combines the power of brine, salt-pan mud, and hand-harvested sea salt into premium products for everyday use. Brine from the Sečovlje Salt Pans is rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and sodium, which strengthen the skin barrier, soothe sensitive skin, and support its natural renewal.
The face cream and cleansing foam with brine provide:
- Deep nourishment and improved skin resilience,
- Protection against moisture loss and environmental stressors,
- A youthful, fresh-looking complexion.
Discover the power of brine and bring these products into your daily skincare routine to enjoy mineral-rich care for strong, protected, and radiant skin.
