Located in the Jordan Rift, the Dead Sea has long been known for its health benefits and rejuvenating properties. Located 1000 ft below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and has a salinity level that is nine times more than any other water body on earth. These conditions are the reason that there is no marine life in this ocean and it is, therefore, called the Dead Sea. However, thanks to these unique conditions, the Dead sea is replete with health-improving nutrients and minerals, which have famously found their way into Dead Sea cosmetics over the years. It has high concentrations of minerals such as magnesium, bromine, calcium, and potassium. What makes the presence of these minerals in the Dead Sea special is the fact that most of them are not found in such quantities in any other water body in the world.

Every year, scores of people travel to Israel especially to benefit from and cure themselves with the healing properties of Dead Sea minerals, Dead Sea mud around the coast or just a buoyant swim in its therapeutic waters.
