According to reviews of consumers who have used it for cosmetology and health purposes, the product is the prevalence and activity of exposure to the skin can be considered a drug necessary in every home.

Shungite or slate stone, as it was called before, is a rock formed in the earth's interior from organic bottom sediments in the Precambrian period. Its deposits are extremely rare, it is almost never mined in its pure form and is part of shungite shale and dolomite.

In Russia, its deposits are located in Karelia, on the northern coast of Lake Onega and on the territory of the Zaonezhsky peninsula, in Kazakhstan - in the Almaty region, near the village of Balpyk-Bi. The mineral was named in honor of the first operating adit for the extraction of rocks in the area of ​​the village of Shungi in Zaonezhie.

The history of shungite properties goes back centuries. It is known that in the 16th century, girls from the north of Russia maintained the beauty of their skin and hair with the help of local mineral water, and Queen Xenia, great-grandmother of Peter I, recovered from infertility with shungite water.

During the reign of Emperor Peter I, a slate stone with antimicrobial properties was used by soldiers who participated in the Battle of Poltava to disinfect drinking water.

Later, health resorts appeared, specializing in the action of the famous Karelian marcial waters, which, as proven by many years of research, have a huge range of positive effects on person.

The origin of shungite has several versions - from terrestrial to cosmic. The principle of its broad effect on the human body is not fully understood by scientists. The mineral consists mainly of carbon, but differs significantly from its other known modifications: graphite and diamond.

Coal and shungite are similar only in appearance: they were formed at different depths, in different eras, but the main difference was determined only at the end of the 20th century - this is the structural structure of the molecules themselves. Today it is the only explanation for the unique properties of slate stone, which is able to endow them with mineral underground waters passing through its layers.

Sanatorium recovery based on marcial waters includes in the list several dozen diseases that are treated with the use of this stone.

In particular, methods have been developed for its use in cosmetology: shungite works as a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent, improves skin elasticity, smoothes wrinkles, regenerates cells and normalizes the sebaceous glands.
