Without
a doubt, one of the liveliest business and investment ventures rocking
the health and beauty industries today is the ancient, venerable Dead
Sea.
From mineral-rich black mud body masques to health treatments in
thermo-mineral springs and the Dead Sea brine, the region's abundant
cosmetological and therapeutic natural resources are truly legendary.
Cleopatra knew well the value of the naturally beautifying and
restorative products that came from the Dead Sea region. She so coveted
the bounty of the mineral-laden bath salts, the skin-revitalizing mud
baths and the intoxicating balsamic perfumes extracted from the oases
that her lover, Marc Anthony, led his troops into a fierce and bloody
war to secure the region for his beautiful Queen.
And Cleopatra herself built the very first Dead Sea cosmetic
facilities. Visitors to Ein Bokek and the Biblical, historic Ein Gedi
can still see the bones of those factories today.
What makes Dead
Sea products so clinically beneficial is their source -- a
unique mix of solar radiation, an oxygen-rich atmosphere and geological
features unlike any other on earth.
Flanked by mountains to its east and west, the heavily saline Dead Sea
is cradled in a deep, sealed basin with hot, arid air above its
surface. More than 400 meters below sea level, the Sea takes in water
and mineralized run-off from mountain streams and alluvial springs, but
loses the water rapidly to evaporation.
The resultant residue of leeched minerals and thick salts has long been
used the world over to relieve the effects of muscle pains, psoriasis
and other human ills.
The mineral cocktail produced in the Dead Sea waters and absorbed into
the human body is believed to help skin to literally regenerate.
Today, the Dead Sea's reputation as a healer, revitalizer, replenisher
and therapy treatment is thriving. Visitors travel to the Holy Land the
year-round to bask on the sunny beaches and luxuriate or heal at one of
the many top-quality day spas and treatment centers.
Today's Dead Sea products aficionados are finding that Cleopatra was
right on the target about the value and effectiveness of the region's
bounty!
Based on years of scientific testing, manufacturers report their
products will smooth wrinkles, revitalize the skin's appearance,
relieve muscle tension and cure acne.
There are also products to stimulate, cleanse and tighten skin, shrink
large pores, rejuvenate hair luster, moisturize dry skin and give a
healthy glow to whatever body part is enjoying treatment.
Among the many different types of Dead Sea beauty and pharmaceutical
products marketed today are:
- Therapeutic Black Mud masks, soaps, hair
restorer, body cleansers, pain relievers, dry-skin treatments and scalp
treatments. Many firms also market the mineral-rich mud as a topical
application to relieve soreness caused by inflamed muscles.
- Dead Sea mineral-based shampoos, conditioners
and anti-dandruff treatments
- Dead Sea bath gels, shower gels, foot
spas, foot creams, sun screens, skin toners, and astringents
for oily skin
- Dead Sea chloride salts rich in potassium,
calcium, magnesium, iodine and bromide
- Balsam-based cosmetics, perfumes and medicines.
More than 50 different Dead Sea health and beauty products
manufacturers have production facilities operating in the region today.
