The Dead Sea's mineral composition varies with season, rainfall, depth of deposit, and ambient temperature. Most oceanic salt is approximately 85 wt.% sodium chloride (the same salt as table salt) while Dead Sea salt is only 30.5 wt.% of this, with the remainder composed of other dried minerals and salts.
Dead sea salt. Dead Sea salt is rich in essential minerals [6] like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which contribute to skin hydration and therapeutic benefits. Magnesium, in particular, is known to improve the skin barrier function and reduce inflammation.
Short video about the Dead Sea from the Israeli News Company.

Lake Assal is the most saline body of water on earth after Don Juan Pond with 34.8% average salt concentration [10] (up to 40% at 20 m (66 ft) depth); higher than the 33.7% level in the Dead Sea. [10] [16] The dissolved salts include NaCl, KCl, MgCl 2, CaCl 2, CaSO 4 and MgBr 2, with NaCl dominating in Lake Assal and MgCl 2 in the Dead Sea. The ...
Potassium chloride is a rich fertilizer for agricultural crops and is produced south of the Dead Sea. During the production process, bromine -rich solutions (used in medicine, industry and cosmetics) remains in the evaporation pools, but its production ceased after it was discovered that this substance emits ozone into the atmosphere.
The EID lists fewer than ten such craters, and the largest in the last 100,000 years (100 ka) is the 4.5 km (2.8 mi) Rio Cuarto crater in Argentina. [2] However, there is some uncertainty regarding its origins [ 3 ] and age, with some sources giving it as < 10 ka [ 2 ] [ 4 ] while the EID gives a broader < 100 ka.
It has customers in over 60 countries. Dead Sea Works is part of the Fertilizers Division of Israel Chemicals Ltd. [5] It is located in the southern basin of the Dead Sea and the extracted chemicals are exported around the world. [7] Rather than extracting potash and other minerals from the Dead Sea by mining them directly, the company makes ...
When observed by submarines or remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), brine pools are found to be eerily littered with dead fish, crabs, amphipods, and various other organisms that ventured too far into the brine. Dead organisms are then preserved in the brine for years without decay due to the anoxic nature of the pool. [8]
