Properties
Regulatory Status
Dead Sea Salt (Maris Sal) provides a unique 21-mineral profile (Mg, Ca, K, Br, S being dominant) with documented clinical benefit for psoriasis (5% solution, 6-week controlled trial showing reduced symptoms vs. tap water). Transdermal Mg and K penetration confirmed in controlled mineral varnish study. Functions as a natural mechanical exfoliant and osmotic skin-drawing agent in scrubs and bath salts. Heavy metal testing mandatory with batch Certificate of Analysis required; marine sourcing from the Dead Sea region historically carries low heavy metal contamination risk. Bromine levels should be specified in supplier CoA for final formula compliance review.
Permitted in cosmetics; no specific FDA restriction; used in bath products and scrubs; heavy metal limits apply (Washington State TFCA: Pb ≤1 ppm from 2025); MoCRA 2026 compliance required
