Please read on for a little story about Dead Sea Mineral Salts.


Salt & Pamper

Soothe your skin with healing salts from the Dead Sea.

By OLESSA PINDAK
Spend a lazy afternoon floating in the salty waters of the Dead Sea and you’ll emerge with noticeably softer and smoother skin. It’s the high mineral content—including sodium, magnesium, calcium, bromine, biumen, and potassium—that gives Dead Sea salt its healing powers. In fact, long before it was bottled commercially, the salt was sought after by beachgoers who packed it into jars to take home. It was this phenomenon that convinced Ahava, a local kibbutz, to produce it on a broader scale. Today, Ahava is one of the oldest and most famous purveyors of beauty products packed with salts from the Dead Sea.

Science is now catching up with the instincts of those early beachgoers. A study published in the International Journal of Dermatology in 2005 showed that the magnesium in Dead Sea salt was helpful in reducing inflammation, says Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in New York. The salts are also effective against psoriasis, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation in the United States, says Ido Leffler, CEO of Yes to Carrots, a beauty company that uses Dead Sea salts in all their products.

Thanks to an increasing number of companies using these salts, you don’t have to soak in the Dead Sea to benefit from its restorative powers. “The name Ahava means love,” says Michael Etedgi, CEO, Ahava North America. “That’s what this is about, goodness from the sea that softens and loves your skin."

Dagny and Lane Skincare Ingredients


Ever wonder what all those weird names are on the ingredients list on the back of your skincare products?
Well, I would like to tackle the meaning of some of our ingredients little by little...
What the heck is MSM?
MSM is methylsulfonylmethane, an organic sulphur, which occurs naturally in the human body. It has been present in the oceans, soil, and atmosphere of the Earth for eons. It actually makes up 5% of the human body and is essential for every organ, cell tissue, hormone,enzyme, antibody, and function found in the body. This whole food is a beautifying mineral, and contributes to hair, skin, nail, and joint renewal and health. Bio-available, MSM must be continually replenished for optimal youth, nutrition, and health. It is a wonderful additive to have in EVERY product.
Dagny and Lane Face Care products which include MSM are:

Mineral Bee Serum
Gentle Berry Scrub
Vita C Toner
Ocean Mineral Cleanser
Vita C Eye Gel
