What it is: Salts comprised of a wide variety of minerals, which are present in a high concentration. (Regular sea salts are made up of more than 90% sodium; Dead Sea salts contain only about 3-8 % sodium, and the rest are minerals such as magnesium, potassium, bromine, and calcium, to name a few.

Where it comes from: As the name attests, Dead Sea salts are only found in one place — the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, located between Jordan ,Occupied Land by Israel , and the West Bank, is the world’s deepest hypersaline lake in the world. 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%!).
