What’s Inside Your Mineral Filter? A Simple Breakdown of Activated Carbon, KDF55, Ceramic Balls & Vitamin C

Ever wondered what’s actually inside our shower filter and how it works?
Let’s break down the four powerful minerals inside our Mineral Filter in a simple, friendly way that makes sense (no science degree needed).

These minerals work together to remove chlorine, reduce heavy metals, soften harsh water, and make your showers feel so much better for your skin and hair.

💧 Why Minerals Matter in NZ Showers

Most NZ water is treated with chlorine and can contain trace metals and sediments. Safe to drink not so great for your skin, scalp, or hair.

Mineral filtration is a natural, effective way to clean your shower water, leaving it softer, gentler, and kinder to your skin barrier.

1. Activated Carbon — The Deep Cleaner

Activated carbon is incredibly porous, which makes it amazing at absorbing:

✔ chlorine
✔ odours
✔ sediments
✔ organic impurities

Why your skin + hair love it:
It helps reduce dryness, irritation, and that “tight skin after showering” feeling.

2. KDF55 — The Heavy Metal Fighter

 KDF55 targets things like:

✔ heavy metals
✔ bacteria
✔ chlorine

It changes harmful substances into harmless ones before they reach your skin.

Why it matters:
Heavy metals can irritate skin, dry out hair, and cause buildup.
KDF55 keeps your water cleaner and more stable.

3. Ceramic Balls — The Water Softener

These mineral beads help:

✔ soften harsh water
✔ balance pH
✔ reduce scale
✔ make water feel smoother

The difference you’ll feel:
Silkier water = calmer skin + smoother hair.

4. Vitamin C — The Chlorine Neutraliser

Vitamin C instantly neutralises chlorine, the #1 cause of dryness, irritation, scalp issues, and colour fade.

The benefits:

Less dryness

Softer skin

Healthier scalp

Better hair moisture retention

Longer-lasting hair colour

🌿 Why These Minerals Work Better Together

Each one targets a different issue in NZ water.
Together, they help create:

✨ gentler water
✨ softer skin
✨ smoother hair
✨ calmer scalps
