For thousands of years, only the local people and royalty knew about the magical beauty secret of the sea and Dead Sea salt. Kings and queens (including Cleopatra) fought over the privilege of using skin care products made from the health-giving minerals contained in the sea. This unique power of the high density of minerals in the sea, is the reason why people descend on the sea every year. The Dead Sea is considered to be a "natural spa" and many skin care spas are located conveniently on its beaches. At these resorts, people enjoy mud baths, made with the premier mineral rich mud from the depths of the sea, Dead Sea salt, as well as soak in the waters of the "natural spa".

The Dead Sea is actually a huge enclosed lake which does not connect with any other body of water. Because of this, as water evaporates, it leaves behind various minerals, nutrients and salts, making it the saltiest body of water in the world. In fact, the waters of the sea are so dense with minerals and salts that you can float on the surface of the sea without sinking! Another unique secret about this magical body of water is that it's located at the lowest point on the planet - 400 meters below sea level - making it the place closest to the soul of Earth.
