Dead Sea Salt

Mineral rich and less drying than normal sea salt, Dead Sea salts have been used for millennia to nourish the skin and ease aches and pains.The Salt derived from the Dead Sea contains at least 21 different minerals, 12 of which are not found in the water of any other ocean or sea.  Dead Sea Salt is one of the highest natural sources of Magnesium, said to have amazing skin healing properties. Magnesium is known for accelerating cell metabolism and aids in the skin’s healing process. 


Some studies indicate that psoriasis sufferers show a shortage of magnesium.  (Does bathing in magnesium rich Dead Sea Salt increase the body's level of Magnesium? It may have a minimal effect if bathing in water that is 98º F or less. At this temperature, the skin is in “absorption” mode. If water is above 98 ºF the skin is in “elimination” modeDead Sea Salts have been used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis and rheumatism, and generally aid in relaxation. They also contribute to detoxification of the skin (the largest organ of the body.)We offer fine grained salt, which will dissolve more quickly in a bath.


Please note that Dead Sea Salt is a natural product, and like all natural products it is likely to differ from one batch to another.


Dead Sea Salts.  There are many benefits of sea salt--especially sea salt from the Dead Sea. Dead Sea Salts are used in bath salts, salt scrubs, soaps and cosmetics.  Our salts are lightly infused with essential oils of Jasmine, Bergamot & Lemon and contain Jojoba Oil and Coconut oil.  This way, when you take your Dead Sea salt bath, the aroma will add to the relaxation and the oils will soften the skin.


Benefits. Some of the benefits of using Dead Sea Salt products include:

  • Exfoliates dead skin cells.  The salt acts as a strong skin treatment as it rubs away the layer of dead skin cells that sits atop your skin.

  • Cleans your pores.  As the salt gently abrades your skin, it picks up oils and dirt from your pores.

  • Stimulates blood circulation.  The gentle abrasion of Dead Sea products stimulates blood flow to the area.

  • Removes toxins.  Those toxins released through your skin are removed when you wash off the salt.

Israeli Dead Sea Salt is a dry, natural white crystal harvested from the Southern Dead Sea where the concentration of minerals is the highest. The waters of the Dead Sea are unique, having a total salt concentration that is 10 times higher than ocean water, reaching 33% versus 3%. The composition of the brine is also unique, comprised of magnesium, potassium, and calcium chlorides in addition to a high concentration of bromides.

This extraordinary chemical composition has made the Dead Sea an ideal spot for people seeking relief from skin & rheumatic disorders and an equally popular choice for vacationers seeking relaxation. The widely reputed soothing effects of the Dead Sea can now be enjoyed in the privacy of your own home. Now every bathtub, Jacuzzi and whirlpool can be a private spa!


For a deep therapy bath, use 1 – 2 cups of salt in a regular sized tub and soak 20 – 30 minutes. Be sure to drink lots of water as the detoxification process will pull moisture from your body as it eliminates toxins.

For an every day bath, ¼ cup is plenty. Mix with therapeutic grade oils to create a wonderful synergistic blend.Dead Sea Salt is very hydroscopic which means it can pull moisture from the air. Be sure to store your Salts in an air tight container to avoid clumping.
