Dead Sea Mud: A Timeless Beauty Secret for Skin Care, Health, and Soap Making

Dead Sea Mud: The Ancient Mineral Powerhouse for Skin, Body & Soap

Rich in magnesium, calcium, and potassium — nature’s ultimate detox and rejuvenating clay

 

Few natural ingredients have as rich a history or potent an effect as Dead Sea mud. Sourced from the mineral-saturated shores of the Dead Sea (Jordan/Israel) — the lowest point on Earth — this black, nutrient-dense clay has been a skincare staple for over 2,000 years. With 21 beneficial minerals (including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide), it offers clinically supported benefits for skin, joints, and natural soapmaking.


What Makes Dead Sea Mud Unique?

The Dead Sea contains 34% salinity — 10x higher than ocean water. Over millennia, minerals have leached into the sediment, creating a therapeutic mud with:

  • Magnesium: 31% — hydrates, reduces inflammation
  • Calcium: 15% — promotes cell renewal
  • Potassium: 11% — balances moisture
  • Bromide: 5% — soothes nerves and skin
Science-Backed: Dead Sea mud improves psoriasis symptoms by 70% in 4 weeks (*International Journal of Dermatology*, 2005).
