Mineral Salts for Cosmetics and Personal Care

Mineral Salts are commonly used as functional ingredients in various application areas of the cosmetic industry. These areas are i.e.:

Skin care
Oral care
Hair care
Deodorants
Nutricosmetics

Due to their various functions, Mineral Salts are indispensable in a wide variety of cosmetic products. In creams, for example, they can increase viscosity, cause cloudiness or act as buffers. But they can also remineralize teeth, reduce unpleasant odors, reduce perspiration, add volume to hair or soothe the skin.

Mineral Salts for cosmetics from Dr. Paul lohmann

In addition, Minerals support "beauty from within" and are used as so-called nutricosmetics or cosmetic dietary supplements to provide the human body with the nutrients necessary for a healthy appearance.

Many raw materials in our products come from natural sources and can be used in natural cosmetics. However, our Mineral Salts have the advantage over natural products due to their higher degree of purity and consistently high quality, without fluctuations that are unavoidable in materials from nature.
