Throughout history, Dead Sea salt has surprised scientists, doctors, and health care professionals as they explored its effects on the skin. With over a million annual visitors, many travel to the region to treat a variety of skin conditions.

While the site’s location at the lowest point on earth helps to minimize the effects of harmful ultraviolet radiation, scientists quickly discovered it was the unique salt concentration of the water that produced dramatic improvement for a variety of skin conditions (psoriasis, dry skin, acne, hives, and much more). The Dead Sea is nearly 10 times saltier than any ocean, which means that the high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea causes your skin to absorb the unusually high mineral content.

Minerals such as Chlorine, Iodine, Potassium, Sodium, and Calcium, are critical to a variety of biological processes. Incredibly, over 40 of these critical minerals occur naturally in the Dead Sea, offering a treasure of skin treatments.

The most enjoyable way to experience the benefits of salt of the Dead Sea is simply to go to the source and spend a few days in the area. Still, if you can’t find the time to visit,
several companies offer beauty, and cosmetic skin care products produced from salt extracted locally in the Dead Sea.
