Skin Salt Ingredients
Every 4g stick of Skin Salt contains seven active ingredients: DermaVal for collagen and elastin defense, a Skin Glow Matrix of hyaluronic acid, ceramides and vitamin C, and 750mg of electrolytes for deep, cellular hydration. It has 5 calories and zero sugar, it is sweetened with organic stevia and monk fruit, and every batch is third-party tested. Here is everything in it, and why.

Other ingredients
- Citric acid, from cassava root, for a bright, clean taste

- Monk fruit (luo han guo) extract, for sweetness
- Silicon dioxide, which keeps the powder free-flowing so it mixes smoothly
DermaVal: collagen and elastin defense
Around the age of 30, two enzymes, collagenase and elastase, begin breaking down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. DermaVal is a patented blend of superfood extracts, made from pomegranate, asparagus and abelmoschus, that wraps those proteins in invisible “bioshields,” helping them defend against those enzymes. It is clinically proven to halt the destruction of collagen by 72% and elastin by 98%.¹ Each stick contains 50mg, the same serving used in that research.
The Skin Glow Matrix: moisture and radiance
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into your skin like a sponge, for a visible plumping effect. Ceramides are the “glue” that holds your skin barrier together, defending against moisture loss and crepey texture. And vitamin C powers collagen synthesis, helping your skin repair and rebuild.
The electrolyte matrix: 750mg for hydration
Skin Salt includes a 750mg blend of sodium, potassium and magnesium. Electrolytes are the pumps that move fluids and nutrients in and out of your cells, which supports deep hydration and helps deliver the skin-boosting ingredients where they are needed.
Why 500mg of sodium?
Sodium is the electrolyte that keeps an extra reserve of water in your body, for when you need it. 500mg is the right amount for most people who are moderately active. Many other brands use 1,000mg, which suits CrossFitters and pro athletes but can be too much, especially if you want to enjoy a few packs a day. At 500mg, you control your sodium: you can always mix in a second packet before a hot yoga class.
Potassium and magnesium are dosed for moderate to vigorous activity.
How it is sweetened and flavored
Skin Salt uses 100% natural flavors, sweetened with organic stevia and monk fruit extract. We chose that combination over real sugar or sugar alcohols such as erythritol, and after months of flavor testing there is no bitter stevia aftertaste.
Our citric acid comes from cassava root and is not made with Aspergillus niger, the mold most citric acid is produced from.
Four flavors: Summer Peach, Passion Fruit Sunrise, Triple Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Spritz.
What is not in it
- No sugar and no sugar alcohols
- No artificial ingredients or unneeded additives
- No allergens, and non-GMO
- No collagen. Collagen mixes thick into water, and we could not include a dose that would make a difference without losing the light, crisp texture a hydration drink should have. DermaVal protects the collagen you already have instead.
Quality and testing
Skin Salt is made in the USA at GMP-certified facilities, with the highest quality raw materials we can source. Every batch is third-party tested for mold, toxins, heavy metals and potency, so you get exactly what is on the label and nothing more.

Frequently asked questions
Does Skin Salt replace my other electrolyte drinks?
Yes. Skin Salt includes a balanced mix of sodium, potassium and magnesium, so it covers your daily electrolyte needs with the skin benefits on top.
Can I take Skin Salt during pregnancy?
Skin Salt contains electrolytes, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and a collection of skin-supporting plant extracts called DermaVal. Each of these ingredients can support your body and skin during pregnancy, with no documented side effects. That said, we recommend talking to your healthcare provider before starting Skin Salt.
Will Skin Salt help if I already take collagen?
Yes. Taking extra collagen does not change the fact that your skin is under attack around the clock. DermaVal adds a line of defense, which can improve the results from the collagen you already take.
When should I take it?
There is no wrong time. Take it in the morning for a hydrating boost, mid-day as a pick-me-up, or before bed, when your skin is in its overnight repair window.
