The salt used in the PURE Sticks+ originates from a natural deposit at the Dead Sea in Jordan, approximately 400 meters below sea level. This unique geological and climatic environment—characterized by extreme dryness, high solar radiation, and an exceptionally pure atmosphere—favors the formation of an extraordinarily pure natural product. The extracted salt is free from industrial or synthetic additives.
Dead Sea salt differs from classic Mediterranean sea salt primarily due to its specific composition of minerals and trace elements. It contains, among other things, elevated levels of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide compounds, which have long been recognized in dermatology for their skin-physiologically relevant properties. The crystal structure is somewhat coarser than that of conventional sea salt.
When showering with the saline water, a hypoosmolar environment is created on the skin. This osmotic gradient promotes controlled fluid exchange in the upper skin layers, thereby supporting the hydration of the stratum corneum and helping to stabilize the skin's barrier function. At the same time, mineral ions such as magnesium and calcium can have a regulating effect on epidermal processes involved in skin renewal and inflammatory reactions, among others.
The fine salt crystals additionally provide a mild mechanical cleansing effect that removes loose horny scales without unnecessarily irritating or drying out the skin. The result is a noticeably smoother, more balanced skin feel.
Due to these properties, the salt shower is suitable not only for daily, natural skin care but also as a supportive therapeutic measure for sensitive and irritation-prone skin conditions—particularly in cases of skin conditions such as neurodermatitis, psoriasis, or comparable chronically dry and irritated skin types.
Suitable for the following skin conditions:
- Irritated and sensitive skin (e.g. in cases of neurodermatitis, psoriasis or similar skin conditions)
- Dry skin
- Reddened skin
- Itchy skin
