Bokek™ Dead Sea salt, the most trusted brand of Dead Sea salt, is harvested from the southern shores of the Dead Sea in Israel, where the absorption of the minerals is the highest. A natural white, dry crystal, the composition of the brines from which Bokek is derived is distinct, comprised mainly of magnesium, potassium and calcium chlorides, as well as a high level of bromides. This makes it an extremely therapeutic and soothing treatment for the whole body.
The waters of the Dead Sea are unique, having a total salt concentration that
is 10 times higher than ocean water, reaching 33 % versus 3 %. But that's not
all! The composition of the dead sea salt is also unique, comprising magnesium,
potassium and calcium chlorides, in addition to a high concentration of
bromides.
This extraordinary chemical composition has made the Dead Sea an ideal spot for
people seeking relief from skin and rheumatic disorders, and an equally popular
choice for vacationers seeking relaxation. In fact, these soothing
miracle-working waters have a reputation that dates back over 2000 years when
the Roman historian Flavius noted… "Dead Sea salt cannot be praised
too highly… travelers take this salt home because it heals the human body
and is therefore used in many medicines."
Bringing the Dead Sea's properties right into the bathtub for relaxation and
relief, the widely reputed soothing effects of the Dead Sea can now be enjoyed
in the privacy of one's home. Now every bathtub, hot tub, jacuzzi and whirlpool
can be a private spa, brimming with the widely reputed therapeutic benefits of
Dead Sea salt and its life giving minerals, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - whenever
anyone, anywhere wants relief or relaxation.
Dead Sea Salt can also be used as a raw material in the cosmetic
industry.
