Seatrace:
Concentrated seawater marine element
Item Code: F12
WHAT IS SEATRACE
Seatrace is a dry powder
containing
the
more
interesting
minerals
elements
contained
in
seawater
because
the
sodium chloride has been
removed. This ideal balance
of minerals explain the
cosmetic
properties
(enhances skin hydratation,
reduces
redness,
remineralisation...) and the
technological
properties
(don't break emulsions).
The original seawater contains more than 90 elements of the Mendeleiev classification,
including the entire range of the trace elements. All this elements are necessary for the
human body and our well-being. The seawater is composed of 96,5% of water and 3,5% of
this different minerals elements (Figure 1).
Among this mineral contain, 85% is composed of sodium chloride and the other 15% are the
very interesting minerals elements (Figure 2). The sodium chloride must be avoid in cosmetic
application. This sodium chloride don't have the more interesting properties and is aggressive
for the skin. This salt breaks down emulsions and causes a lot of stability problems.
In the seatrace, most of the sodium chloride has been removed. We obtain the ideal balance
of mineral salts with the more interesting minerals to be used in cosmetic (Figure 3). This
powder is very concentrated because 80 times more than seawater.

A PHYSICAL AND NATURAL PROCESS
The water is slowly evaporated by a heating process. This process results in the concentration
of minerals salts contained in seawater. A large part of sodium chloride is eliminated because
it crystallizes, first, all the other elements when the seawater is concentrated. Finally, this
saline solution is spray-dried.

COSMETIC PROPERTIES
Remineralizing
In 1904, Dr Quinton highlighted the fact that seawater
is similar in composition to blood plasma.
This outstanding richness has appealed to the
thalassotherapy (“treating with the sea”) since the
mineral elements can be assimilated by cutaneous
tissues. It recharges the organism in trace elements in
order to remineralize the skin.
In thalassotherapy and balneotherapy treatments, the
“salt coat” has to be kept as long as possible since
seawater has a long, deep and lasting activity, even
more effective after the application.

Magnesium
More than 15% of the composition. It is in the form of Magnesium chloride. Magnesium is very well known to
have anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. This magnesium explains the abilities of seawater concentrated in
magnesium to reduce the redness of the skin.
Sodium
Chloride sodium in small quantity of seawater has interesting properties. Indeed, it is a component of the NMF
(Natural Moisturizing Factor) necessary for the cutaneous hydration. Sodium also regulates skin’s pH.
Potassium
This element plays an important role in the intercellular exchange and for this reason in hydration.
Calcium
Prevents skin-ageing.
Zinc
Stimulates sebaceous gland and prevents production of enzyme inducing inflammation.
Copper
Supplements enzymes synthesizing elastin and collagen fibers, increases skin elasticity.
How to use it ?
This seatrace can be used in spa products like a root of the thalassotherapy treatments. It can be used also in skin care products like
an active ingredient.
• Emulsions, shampoos, shower gels (1 to 5%)
• Body wraps and masks (5 to 30%)
• Baths in thalassotherapy treatment (20 to 50%)
• Hair care treatment
FOCUS ON HAIR CARE
Seatrace is the perfect ingredient for « beach
waves » effect products. Seatrace gives volume
and texture to the hair.
