Pink Dead Sea Salt: Secrets and Virtues

But what exactly is it, and what wonders does this pearl of the salty sea hold?
Let's explore together this fascinating natural element, which will prove to be a valuable ingredient in cosmetics.
What is Pink Dead Sea Salt?
Pink Dead Sea Salt is a type of mineral salt extracted from the famous Dead Sea area, or "Salt Sea," located 400 meters below sea level in the Judean Desert.
This salt stands out for its characteristic pink color, which is due to the unique mineral concentration of the region, including: magnesium, potassium, and calcium, giving the salt a unique and valuable composition.
The formation of Dead Sea salt is the result of a long natural process that takes place over millennia, making the final result even more precious.
The gradual and cyclical evaporation of the Dead Sea's mineral-rich waters inevitably leaves behind salt crystals, which have been collected and used for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes for centuries due to their extraordinary virtues.

However, when talking about salt and water, outside of a culinary context, "bath salts" immediately come to mind, leading to the natural question: Are bath salts merely fragrant elements, or do they also have a practical and therapeutic function?
Why use bath salts?
