Why Minerals Matter for Your Health and Skin

Minerals are essential to nearly every function of the human body — from energy production and muscle health to skin repair and hydration. Yet modern diets and lifestyles often leave us short on these vital nutrients.

Mineral Deficiency in the U.S.

Nearly 48% of Americans don’t meet their daily magnesium needs (NIH).

Calcium, potassium, and vitamin D are also on the U.S. government’s “shortfall nutrients” list.

Stress, poor diet, and processed foods can all make mineral deficiencies more common.

👉 This means millions of people may not be getting the nutrients their body needs to function at its best.

Can Minerals Be Absorbed Through the Skin?

Emerging research suggests that minerals such as magnesium can be absorbed topically. This means creams, oils, and soaks may provide benefits beyond relaxation:

Support for skin hydration and barrier repair

Help to calm muscle tension and stress

Potential support for skin healing in certain conditions

The Power of Mineral Soaks (Balneotherapy)

For centuries, cultures have turned to mineral-rich hot springs and pools for healing. Modern science is beginning to support this tradition, known as balneotherapy. Studies show benefits such as:

Relief from muscle and joint discomfort

Improvements in skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema

Support for stress reduction, fatigue, and sleep quality
