Sea Water is packed with minerals including magnesium (anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial), calcium (cell growth and regulation) and potassium (cell function and water retention). Its absorption power helps to extract toxins on the skin including acne causing bacteria. Natural moisture reducing abilities can also help to regulate the overproduction of oil that leads to clogged pores.

Recapping, the Raw Sauce provides antioxidant protection which is impossible to measure without lab conditions but can only be considered a positive outcome since it helps to neutralise free radicals that can cause premature ageing. It also claims added hydration and skin dewiness which I can definitely attest since my skin looking plump and fresh. As essence is never the only step of hydration in my routine, it is impossible to confirm the amount contributed by the essence versus the preceding toner and following serum steps. Nonetheless, there is a notable reduction in the level of dewiness and moisture achieved when this essence step in omitted.
