8 Common Ingredients Found in Israeli Skin Care Products

The Dead Sea is located on the western side of Israel and is a popular destination not just for its impressive beauty, but because of its unique properties that benefit the skin. For example, Dead Sea salt contains over 20 minerals — including magnesium, bromide, sodium, zinc, and potassium — which soothe, relive tension, promote hydration, and soften skin.

Ahava is easily one of the most noted brands for its innovative work utilizing Dead Sea ingredients (sourced from the Israeli portion of the sea), and the brand has made their products available to a large portion of the world. Many of their products contain the Dead Sea salt, or you can buy their Natural Bath Salt ($22), which is 100 percent pure Dead Sea salt packaged in a pretty jar.
