The Best Mineral and Sea-based Skincare

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Marilyn Monroe was talking about jewelry when she sang these lyrics but today she could be singing about mineral-based skincare. Often used in top skin creams and sunscreens, mineral and sea-based skincare products help to soothe, moisturize, and protect your complexion to perfection. Especially when they’re packed with the best minerals from the bottom of the ocean.

Mineral-based and sea-inspired skincare is your must-have pairing for effective summer skincare. With healing properties that both treat and prevent complexion issues. The larger molecules of minerals like calcium, zinc, and magnesium help to trap moisture. They also take longer to absorb into the skin for extended soothing power. Basically, these products are essential to treat a bad sunburn after a beach day. As the weather heats up, here are the best mineral-based and sea-based skincare products you need on your shelf. And they all can be purchased with a Spafinder Gift Card at the Spafinder Shop.

But the shielding abilities get a boost with the addition of antioxidant-rich nutrients. Think buriti oil, meadowfoam seed oil, raspberry seed oil, and prickly pear extract, all soaked into your skin in just a few spritzes. You can’t do summer skincare without Coola!
