Dead Sea – premium natural ingredients for healthy skin
The Dead Sea is one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the entire world, being the saltiest body of water on earth. It is the deepest point on the planet and the richest source of natural minerals in the world, hiding wonderful treasures accumulated over thousands of years.
The Dead Sea is 427 meters below sea level and has a depth of 306 m. The oxygen pressure in the area is very high due to the low altitude. It is the deepest hypersaline lake in the world, with a salinity of 34%, making it 9 times saltier than the ocean. This salinity makes it difficult for marine life, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point, located in the Jordan Rift Valley and fed by the Jordan River.
It is very rich in natural minerals, essential for the health and skin care of the body such as: magnesium, calcium, potassium, bromine, sulfur and iodine, which are well known to relieve pain caused by arthritis, rheumatism, psoriasis, eczema, headaches and pain of the feet, while nourishing and softening the skin.
The uniqueness and richness of the Dead Sea have made it a point of attraction for millions of people, both now and in the past, as a unique source of health and beauty. This is the only place in the world with this special combination of cosmetic and spa benefits.
Historically, the pharaohs of Egypt were the first to recognize its importance and value, especially Queen Cleopatra, as she was the first to discover its salts and healing properties for strengthening bones and skin, stimulating blood circulation and fighting wrinkles.
One of Queen Cleopatra's most famous beauty recipes is the mud bath, made from Dead Sea mud, known for its abundance and uniqueness of minerals that nourish and rejuvenate the skin and contribute to its smoothness and radiance.
Over the millennia since it was discovered and refined, therapy with Dead Sea products has proven to be useful in treating several dermatological, rheumatic and pulmonary conditions, especially psoriasis, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
