Dead Sea Minerals are a blend of salts rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide derived from the Dead Sea, used in skincare for hydration, barrier support, and soothing of inflammatory conditions. They are studied for benefits in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, partly attributed to magnesium content.
