The Dead Sea, Hebrew Yam HaMelaẖ (“Salt Sea”), is a landlocked salt lake between Israel and Jordan in southwestern Asia. Its eastern shore belongs to Jordan, and the southern half of its western shore belongs to Israel. It has the lowest elevation and is the lowest body of water on the surface of Earth.
The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, with almost 10 times more salt than ordinary seawater. This is because water flows into the Dead Sea from one main tributary, the Jordan River. It then has no way to get out of the lake and so is forced to evaporate.
The healing waters have been sought after even since Biblical times. Herod the Great, who reigned between 37 to 4 BC, built one of the world’s first health spas along its shores. According to legend, Cleopatra also loved the Dead Sea and used its products as part of her beauty regimen.
The Dead Sea’s high salt levels mean that people can easily float on its surface due to its natural buoyancy. As many as 1 million tourists/year visit the Dead Sea to soak and float in its therapeutic glory. You have the ability to bring the float to your own home!
Our Magnesium Chloride Flakes contain 100% pure magnesium chloride flakes. While most brands dilute their product(s) with other lower quality forms of salt, we source our product from the "Salt Sea" directly, and strive for the highest quality form of bath flakes in the world.
The only time your Bath Flakes will contain anything more than pure magnesium chloride, is when you opt for a scented option. In that case, we add a few drops of organic certified essential oil(s), which boast therapeutic properties that can enhance your experience even further. We never use synthetic fragrance oils or endocrine disrupting toxins. *You will receive a final product containing pure, natural ingredients.
