The cortex
Why Dead Sea minerals change everything.
The cortex is nestled at the core of the hair shaft. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining hair’s resilience, flexibility and colour — and it’s where most hair care products simply don’t go. Saphira’s formulations are designed to do exactly that: travel beyond the surface, into the cortex itself, where they bolster the inner structure and nurture hair from its very roots.
1. Minerals penetrate the cuticle
Dead Sea minerals travel beyond the surface layer of the hair — the cuticle — and enter the cortex where long-term repair actually happens.
2. They rebuild from the inside
Inside the cortex, minerals strengthen the hair’s inner structure, restore elasticity and repair the bonds broken by heat, colour and chemical treatments.
3. They travel to the follicular bulb
The cortex serves as a conduit — minerals reach the follicular bulb, where fresh strands emerge, enhancing growth and vitality from the very root.

THE COLLECTION
Next-generation mineral science.
Saphira’s Collection is the next evolution of the brand’s mineral technology — combining Dead Sea minerals with three additional high-performance actives to deliver results the minerals alone cannot achieve.
The result is advanced hydration, improved shine and luxurious softness — across all hair types, in every wash.
Hyaluronic Acid
Binds moisture deep into the cortex and holds it there — not just on the surface where it washes out. Restores elasticity and softness that lasts days, not hours.
Diamond Powder
Smooths the cuticle surface and reflects light from every strand — giving hair mirror-like shine. The luxury active that makes the visual difference you can see from across the room.
Natural active elements
Lily flower and other naturally derived actives selected to complement the mineral base — each chosen for a specific function, not as fragrance or filler.
SCALP HEALTH
Next-generation mineral science.
As Saphira’s minerals penetrate the hair cortex and subsequently reach the scalp, they actively combat scalp irritation — leveraging their nourishing and calming attributes to create the healthiest possible environment for hair growth.
Three minerals are especially important for scalp health — working together to soothe, protect and strengthen the skin at the root.
