We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

I can’t say anything about concentration or efficiency of the actual product, but think about it…

The Dead Sea is dead because it’s so frickin salty that nothing can live there. It’s /insanely/ salty. It’s got salt up the /wazoo/, not to mention a lot of neato minerals.

So what to do with this big hurkin mass of a sea that nothing can even live in? You can purify the water to use locally, but that’s hard to do even with just normal ocean water. The Dead Sea is just a small tourist spot and a big hassle for the people who have jurisdiction over it.

So– stroke of frickin brilliance– why not take the impurities in the water, which is is chock full of, and sell it en masse?

And a cool name? Well, dang, there’s not a lot of places with names cooler than the /Dead Sea/, are there?

It’s like printing your own money.

As for how the end results of the scientific study goes… Seeing how the dead sea salt results are hardly different than the control group, I’d say it’s money in your pocket and a smile on your face if you settle for not-so-mystical normal bath salts for nigh identical results.

I’d like to see a bigger test group though. 30′s a tad small for a study. Then again, I don’t think /I/ could get funding for dead sea salt testing, so I can’t really assume they can.

Still, a boring result in a small group is usually a REALLY boring result in a large group.

Tl;dr: High price for hype.

I add a few scoops of salt to a bowl and fill with warm water, then soak a wash cloth in the water a wash my face, neck and shoulders. Let it soak in for 5-10 mins. Great results.

Being a health practitioner I must say that I have used certain creams with dead sea salt in the ingredients and some of my clients claim that it does dry out their skin, perhaps the salt may be too concentrated for certain skin types…it may have healing powers but not everyone is going to always benefit from this. Also the dead sea is evaporating at a frightening rate, sadly it may not be available for the next generation to enjoy!
