Dead sea salts are mineral-rich natural salts taken from the famous Dead Sea in Israel. The Dead Sea is actually a salt lake, with hypersaline water. With its extreme salt and mineral concentration, the Dead Sea has become known as a treasure trove of natural therapeutic and cosmetic wonders.

Dead Sea salts are known for their extraordinary health and beauty benefits, when applied to the skin as a cosmetic treatment. They make your skin radiant, by replenishing its essential mineral content, and help you maintain a youthful appearance by increasing skin cell renewal. Since the salts absorb moisture, they also help to purify your body, and promote the elimination of excess water and toxins. Dead Sea salts also act on cellulite and localised fat deposits. They can even be used to add shine and lustre to dull or brittle hair.

Other Benefits of Dead Sea Salts

Dead Sea salts help with the following issues:

  • Muscle pain and stiffness
  • Arthritic and rheumatoid pain
  • Psoriasis and eczema
  • Stress headaches
  • Painful joints
  • Sore, tired feet

Exceptional Mineral Content

The Dead Sea is known as the lowest point on earth, situated 400 meters below sea level in the Jordan Valley between Israel and Jordan. Salt extracted from the Dead Sea has a higher concentration of minerals than any other salt, containing more than 25 different types of minerals.

The main minerals found in Dead Sea salts are:

  • Magnesium
  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • Bromide
  • Iodine
  • Lithium
  • Sulphate

Fab Fact: The Dead Sea has a 50% higher concentration of bromide and a 15% higher concentration of magnesium than the ocean itself! This makes Dead Sea salts particularly effective in improving the skin, and easing common aches and pains. Soaking in a Dead Sea salt bath helps to ease inflammation, so it’s a real treat for tired bones and stiff joints.

Using Dead Sea Salts at Home

Treat yourself to a home spa experience, with the help of Dead Sea salts. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the salts to your bath water. You can also add a few drops of your favourite essential oils. Then simply relax and soak away your stress!
