What is Sea water?
Sea water on an ingredient list means filtered and treated seawater standing in for part or all of the purified water in a formula. It carries dissolved mineral salts, and brands often name the sea it was drawn from. Because it is the base of the water phase, it sits at or near the top of the list.
