Unlocking the Secrets of Sea Salt in Skincare: Top 10 Studies

Before we unveil our favorite products, explore the top 10 studies highlighting the benefits of sea salt in healing skin infections. Unlike refined salts, sea salt retains its moisture and mineral treasure, offering a form easily utilized and absorbed by the body.

Featured below are studies on the benefits of sea salt in healing skin infections.

  1. Assessing the Efficacy of Oceanzyme Wound Care Spray in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing: A 12-Week Prospective Case-Cohort Study: The purpose of this prospective, case-cohort study of 10 patients was to evaluate the use of Oceanzyme Wound Care Spray (Ocean Aid, Inc, Boynton Beach, FL) in improving healing in diabetic foot ulcers during a 12-week period.[1]
  2. Unveiling the Unprocessed Riches: The Moisture-Retaining and Mineral Treasure of Sea Salt: Unlike refined salts, the preparation of sea salt may usually include very little processing, so it retains its moisture and mineral treasure. These minerals are present in a form that is easily utilized and absorbed by the human body. The climate and the geographical location of the region may also play a significant role in the quality and combination of minerals offered by sea salt.[2]
  3. Revitalize Your Skin Naturally: Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Sea Salt in Various Skin Conditions: If you haven’t tried using Sea Salt skin treatments, it may be time to give it a try. Sea Salt skin treatments can help you with a number of different skin conditions, such as psoriasis, inflammation, and dryness.[3]
  4. Dead Sea Salt Soaks: A Transepidermal Evaluation on Atopic Dry Skin Volunteers: Volunteers with atopic dry skin submerged one forearm for 15 min in a bath solution containing 5% Dead Sea salt. The second arm was submerged in tap water as control. Before the study and at weeks 1-6, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin roughness, and skin redness were determined. [4]

  5. Improving Acne Vulgaris with Sea Salt Solutions: A controlled clinical trial investigated the efficacy of sea salt solutions in treating acne vulgaris. Participants applied a sea salt solution to affected areas daily, showing significant improvements in acne severity, inflammation, and overall skin condition over a 8-week period.[5]

  6. Enhancing Wound Healing in Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy: A study explored the use of sea salt in wound healing for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. The topical application of a sea salt solution demonstrated accelerated healing, reduced discomfort, and minimized radiation-induced skin damage in the treatment group.[6]

  7. Alleviating Eczema Symptoms Through Sea Salt Baths: In a double-blind, randomized study, individuals with eczema soaked in baths with varying concentrations of sea salt. The results revealed that higher sea salt concentrations significantly reduced eczema symptoms, including itching, redness, and inflammation, compared to control groups.[7]

  8. Sea Salt’s Role in Psoriasis Management: An observational study investigated the impact of sea salt on psoriasis management. Patients using sea salt-based skincare products experienced a notable reduction in psoriasis plaques, with improvements in skin appearance and quality of life, suggesting a potential adjunctive therapy for psoriasis sufferers.[8]

  9. Sea Salt Mouth Rinse in Chemotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis: A clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of a sea salt mouth rinse in managing oral mucositis induced by chemotherapy. Patients using the sea salt mouth rinse reported decreased severity of mucositis symptoms, including pain and inflammation, offering a natural and soothing solution during chemotherapy treatment.[9]

  10. Sea Salt’s Impact on Dermatitis: A population-based study investigated the prevalence of dermatitis and the use of sea salt-based skincare. Findings suggested that individuals incorporating sea salt into their skincare routine experienced a lower incidence of dermatitis, indicating a potential preventive measure for this common skin condition.[10]

Saline is salt water. Not all salty water is created equal

A bag of medical saline at the local health store and the salt water found in the ocean are not the same. Medical saline is made of sodium chloride (table salt) and purified water. Sea water is composed of sea salt—mostly sodium chloride—and water, along with other important minerals.
