Medicinal minerals and rejuvenating mud have been drawn from the sea since immemorial time. Legend states that Solomon offered the queen of Sheba gifts including cosmetics from the Dead Sea. Cleopatra cajoled Mark Anthony into taking the region so that she could gain access to supplies of Dead Sea black mud. This mud was and is famous as skin conditioner and refresher. Today, people all over the world can use the same cosmetic application as history’s most famous beauties.
