The effect of glacial minerals on skin cells

The overarching goal of this project is to determine whether glacial mineral extract improves the overall health of skin cells. To do this, we will test the extract on human epithelial cells in petri dishes. More specifically, we will test whether the glacial mineral extracts help the cells to grow and study how the cells use energy to survive and thrive.
