Maris Aqua is a highly purified seawater that contains, on average, 3.5% of minerals and trace elements, mainly table salt (Sodium Chloride). Since ancient times, boiled seawater has been used to treat infected wounds thanks to its draining, antiseptic, and detoxifying properties.
Sea water is a hypertonic solution, meaning the salt concentration is higher than in the blood (0.9%). This provides an osmotic pressure gradient, fluid drainage, and detoxification at the application site. In addition, many microorganisms cannot grow in salty water, leaving an antiseptic effect.
Maris Aqua is used in many skin care applications for its several beneficial effects on the skin, including revitalization, rehydration, visible pore reduction, and mattification. In addition, it is helpful in preparations for atonic, mature, or wrinkled skin, as well as soothing baths for feet and treatment of aggressed, sore, or irritated skin.

Furthermore, Maris Aqua has an antioxidant effect on the skin by reversing protein carbonylation and lessening UV-induced or reactive radical damage.
