"The Dead Sea’s black mud is made up of a homogeneous mixture of Dead Sea minerals, organic elements from the shoreline as well as earth. When used as a body wrap, the mud’s heat-retaining properties help to ease muscular and nervous tensions, improving blood circulation and alleviating rheumatic pain. As a cosmetic treatment, the rich black mud stimulates blood circulation and maintains skin moisture. Rich in Kaolin and silicates, Dead Sea mud draws out excess oils and impurities from deep down in the pores. High mineral levels give the skin natural stimulation while lifting away dead cells, revealing a more youthful, vibrant layer of skin."
