Stories from Nature
Dead Sea salts have always been considered a source of health and beauty. They take their name from their natural habitat, the Dead Sea, a large salt lake between Israel and Jordan, known since ancient times for its renowned therapeutic properties. Cleopatra made it her personal spa.
The lake lies 423 meters below sea level—the lowest point on Earth—and is an incredibly valuable mineral reservoir, a true natural treasure known as the “fountain of eternal youth.”
Situated within a desert oasis with no river inflows, the high temperatures cause intense evaporation, giving the waters an extremely high salinity. This location has produced the world’s highest and most diverse concentration of hydrating minerals.
Its waters are extremely rich in excellent ingredients for skin health and well-being: magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, and bromine. Furthermore, the water of the Dead Sea contains 26 types of minerals and trace minerals in higher concentrations than other seas. Dead Sea salts have superior moisturizing properties compared to salts from other seas, which tend to dry out the skin and hair.
When incorporated into cosmetic formulas and applied to the skin’s surface, Dead Sea salts trigger reverse osmosis: through the skin’s pores, they release their mineral and trace element content into the body, while the body releases fluids and toxins.
This produces purifying and draining effects and nourishes the skin, making it appear brighter and smoother. Even the most common skin imperfections benefit from this, thanks to the salts’ ability to stimulate blood circulation.
Bio-Osmotic Mechanism
Applying these salts to the skin triggers a highly effective process of reverse osmosis. Through the permeability of the pores, the tissues absorb essential minerals and electrolytes, while simultaneously promoting the elimination of excess interstitial fluids and metabolic toxins. This ionic exchange optimizes cellular nutrition and revitalizes the scalp and skin.
Benefits for Hair
Dead Sea salts, rich in magnesium, moisturize and stimulate microcirculation, promoting blood flow to the hair follicles. They perform a dual action: they support the follicles’ natural metabolic processes and strengthen their structure.
Skin Benefits
They also combat water retention and cellulite, deeply hydrate the skin and Scalp deeply, have a decongesting, detoxifying, and restorative effect on the skin, combat sagging skin, and revitalize the Scalp, making it more toned and smooth, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, promote skin rejuvenation, remove dead skin cells, and enhance skin oxygenation.
