The Dead Sea: Our Timeless Ritual and Heritage
At The Dead Sea Co., the Dead Sea isn’t just an ingredient—it’s part of who we are.Our Arab heritage gave us more than a love for natural skincare—it gave us a deep-rooted bond with this ancient body of water. Growing up, we spent time as a family on its shores in Jordan. We’d float effortlessly in the mineral-rich water, smooth dark mud over our skin, and take in the stillness that hung in the air. Those childhood visits shaped how we think about skincare—not as a chore, but as a ritual.
As life got busier, those trips became fewer. But the memory—the meaning—never faded.

What Makes the Dead Sea So Special?
Tucked into the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea is one of Earth's most extraordinary natural wonders. It’s more than ten times saltier than typical seawater, letting you float as if weightless. That sensation—calm, quiet, suspended—is unforgettable. But the magic goes deeper.
The water is loaded with 21 naturally occurring minerals, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide, at concentrations up to 80 times higher than those in other seas. Even more remarkable? Twelve of these minerals are found nowhere else in the world.
This rare mineral profile doesn’t just create a beautiful landscape. It’s what gives the Dead Sea its legendary healing and skin-restoring properties—something people have sought out for thousands of years.
The Science Behind Dead Sea Mud
Beneath the calm surface, the real treasure waits. Over centuries, the shoreline has built up thick, silken mud, rich in minerals that support skin health.
This isn't your average clay. Dead Sea mud draws out impurities, hydrates deeply, reduces inflammation, and gently exfoliates—without stripping your skin. It’s the kind of ritual that makes you slow down and pay attention.
And our mud? It’s responsibly sourced from Jordan and handled with care, so what ends up on your skin is just as nature intended—pure, powerful, and grounded in tradition.
Ancient Origins, Timeless Benefits
Legend tells us Cleopatra herself made the journey to the Dead Sea. She wasn’t just interested in beauty—she understood ritual. The minerals in the mud and water were at the heart of her skincare, long before the concept of self-care even had a name.
And truly, when you’re standing at the shoreline—feet sinking into warm mud, steam rising off the water—it’s easy to see why. There’s a hush here, a stillness that wraps around you. A kind of quiet luxury that feels deeply personal.
That’s what makes the Dead Sea timeless. It’s where tradition and transformation meet. For centuries, people have come here not only to care for their skin but to reconnect with themselves. That essence lives in every jar we create—born of memory, backed by science, and designed for the pace of modern life.

FAQs
How often should I use a Dead Sea mud mask?
Most people find that once or twice a week gives their skin the right balance—enough to see results without overdoing it. For those who have sensitive skin, start slow—once a week is plenty—and adjust according to your skin's response.
Does it work for acne and redness?
Indeed it can. Dead Sea mud has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which are why many people use it to calm the breakout and lessen the redness. It is often their go-to remedy when the skin feels reactive to the environment or just not in balance.
