Dead Sea products from H&B Dead Sea Minerals  

The Dead Sea has been a precious resource that many have fought for for centuries. The sea where no life is possible contains 300% more magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium and bromide than other seas and oceans in the world. These minerals and trace elements have a healing effect on the skin and on health in general.  

The last pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra VII, conquered the Egyptian empire and the surrounding areas. The Dead Sea was her ultimate trophy. When she discovered that a simple bath had a strong rejuvenating and innovative effect on her skin and health, she created the world's first spa in the sea and integrated Dead Sea minerals and mud into her daily care routine. The remains of the Cleopatra VII spas can still be seen at Ein Bokek and Ein Gedi.

Today, the Dead Sea is still famous for its healing effects, but it is a protected resource. H&B Dead Sea Minerals is one of the few brands that mines it in a responsible manner, so that it is also retained for future generations.

The global demand for natural Dead Sea cosmetics is exponentially growing due to the growing concern about harmful effects of chemicals in cosmetics on the skin and on health in general. More and more people are looking for natural solutions for skin problems due to sun exposure, pollution and low-nutrient nutrition. 

Minerals play an important role in maintaining our health; they contribute to healthy skin, bones, teeth, hair, nails, nerve and muscle activity and the regulation of body fluids. The body needs minerals to be able to use vitamins. We can live longer without vitamins than with a shortage of minerals. Without minerals, the body can no longer repair damaged cells and tissue. The lack of only one trace mineral can cause a multitude of skin problems. The theory that there is a greater risk for certain types of skin cancer in someone who suffers from a deficiency of certain minerals in the body or a deficiency of a trace element such as selenium is increasingly supported by evidence from different clinical trials.
