The sciencey stuff
Let's get technical: lava shells owe their magic to a mix of minerals including algae, dried sea kelp, dead sea salt and essential oils. This blend of ingredients creates a chemical reaction inside the shell to produce heat that lasts for up to two hours – a lot longer than stones. What’s more, the lava shells give off calcium ions which leaves the skin looking firmer and more fabulous. What could be more worth shelling out for?
