Increased Utilization of the Geothermal Lagoon Spa Water in Making Skin Care Products

Abstract

The latest entrant crowd puller to the unending list of attractions to the Olkaria Geothermal Project is the Olkaria Geothermal Spa. Sitting in the warm heat in the spa has a therapeutic effect on the skin and guarantees muscle relaxation especially for those suffering from arthritis. The Sulphur in the water, which is believed to have medicinal properties, is good for the skin and the central nervous system. It also helps relax tense muscles. The Spa benefits may go a long way to help many both in the country and across the globe. It is with this reason that we are proposing that KenGen partners with manufacturers of skin care products to enable production of the most unique line of skin care products from the brine. Several skin care products can be developed from the natural underground brine, which is rich in silica and other minerals. Such skin care products include lotions, creams, and facial cleansers and even lip care products. This project describes usage of the geothermal spa brine water to come up with several other skin products.
