Dead Sea Skincare FAQ | ALBATROS

What makes Dead Sea minerals special for skin?

The Dead Sea contains one of the highest mineral concentrations of any body of water on earth, including magnesium, potassium, calcium and bromide. These minerals are traditionally used to hydrate the skin, support the skin barrier, calm irritation and gently detoxify. This is why Dead Sea mud, salts and mineral-based skincare have been valued for centuries.
