When art and beauty come together, you can be assured of a beautiful creation. Minus 417, is a global skincare brand founded by Moty Fridman, Founder and CEO and a Sculptor! His passion for all things beautiful and creative coupled with his innate business sense helped him create an exclusive line of vegan and cruelty-free skincare line using natural active components and minerals from the lowest place in the world, the Dead Sea.

When used regularly, it helps to improve the mineral balance of the cells and over time you’ll notice that your skin yields not only a beautiful glow but an improved texture too.
