For thousands of years, fresh water carrying its own natural salts drifted through the rocks, sand and soil, flowing south through the Jordan River Valley into the Dead Sea.
This natural phenomenon created a historical site of legendary significance, where nature's minerals and salts converge to create beauty products.

   
 

Natural Evaporation Process
Picture this….
Under cloudless skies, in-flowing water evaporates into the desiccated desert air, leaving the salts together with its sediments to accumulate, and then form the world famous Dead Sea, the globe's saltiest natural lake, with an average salinity of 280 grams per kilogram compared with the ocean's average of 35 grams.





 











Unique Mineral Content

The Dead Sea brine's assemblage of salts is truly unique. When comparing it with brines that have a marine origin, the brine of the Dead Sea stands out in that it is enriched in calcium, magnesium, potassium and bromine and is also depleted in sodium, sulfate and carbonate. Such a composition could not have evolved from evaporating seawater, nor could it result simply from the weathering of continental rocks.
Instead, most of the salts are actually brought into the lake not by the major river system but by local springs and streams.
