The Dead Sea is a unique body of saltwater formed during a great natural-up heaval just over three million years ago. In saltwater springs erupted, forming a valley and lake 400 meters below sea level - the lowest spot on earth.
A natural evaporation process continued for thousands of years, resulting in increased levels of minerals and salt in the atmosphere, which is in turn absorbed back into the Dead Sea and deposited on the Dead Sea's bed. This is where we harvest the in mineral composition of the Dead Sea, containing the highest levels of naturally formed Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium.
