The Dead Sea was geographically formed 3 million years ago when a small fracture occurred amidst the Jordan rift valley. The Dead Sea is situated 400m below sea level which makes it the deepest point on earth. Sea water rushed in and was collected in this fracture. The dry climate and high rate of evaporation gradually increased the concentration of minerals in the water. Salt, chalk and gypsum precipitated all along the length of this fracture eventually resulting in a lake-like formation. This lake eventually ended its relationship with the sea to become an landlocked lake. Nowadays, it continues to be fed by the Jordan River and numerous mineral springs that pour into it from the adjoining mountains.

What concerns the salts, their quality varies. The further away from the Jordanian side the springs are located the higher their content of the regularly used kitchen salt, which is not known to have a great effect in respect to care. It is therefore not surprising that this ancient resort is said to have been frequented by the queen of Sheba and Cleopotra in pursuit of natural beauty and health.

The products distributed by BIOSAL NATURAL COSMETICS are won from the heart of the Jordanian mineral springs area, and have shown to contain the highest possible degree of valuable minerals. In 1992 these products won within the EU a "GOLDEN TROPHY FOR QUALITY" in recognition of their genuine properties.


The Active Substances

BIOSAL® natural salts from the Dead Sea contain only 5-8% NaCl as opposed to other available Dead Sea salts that contain around 15% or more NaCl. Thus, BIOSAL® natural salts enjoy a greater concentration of bio-active minerals, of which some are found exclusively in the Dead Sea. Even less, that is 6%, is the share of the crystal water in the BIOSAL® mineral salt, which in other products even reaches a share of 30% and more. BIOSAL® is therefore highly concentrated and very efficient.

These effects were already well-known during the antiquity, when people travelled to the Dead Sea for treatment. Many public health authorities have perceived the efficacy of such treatments. For particular chronic sufferings, public health institutions in Austria, Germany and the Scandinavian countries approve treatment at Dead Sea health spas.

Here you will find details on how to apply BIOSAL® mineral salts and black mud.
