Renewing Negative Ion Showers
|  Ever experience a lift your mood when you stand near a waterfall, at the beach or just after a summer rain? Research suggests this is the influence of increased negative ions in the air and that negative ions delivered by mist can moisturize and nourish the skin on a cellular level.
We have added Renewing Negative Ion Mist to our Spa showers, to be enjoyed as part of the Cedar Ezyme Bath treatment. The negative ion generator sprays a fine mist of electrolyzed water, subtly infused with Vitamin C. This gentle, low PH water provides a comprehensive hygienic cleansing without harsh chemicals. An elevating experience that will refresh and renew you through and through!
