Did you play in the mud and make pretend facials when you were little? Mud has cleansing elements that make the skin smooth. Now that you're all grown up, you can still enjoy the special qualities of nature without getting dirty in the back yard. Black mud from the Dead Sea contains about 35 minerals that fortify the skin. Ahava uses this mud to create skincare products that cleanse and rejuvenate. At Coco and Duckie, we carry Ahava products because we think they're special. Here's why.
History of Dead Sea Mud
The Dead Sea's history of rich minerals and healing powers stretches back more than 2,000 years. In ancient times, royalty would bathe in the water and bask on the shore. Cleopatra was among them, experiencing the soothing effects of the blue water and black mud rich in minerals. The Dead Sea's water and the mud in its base have an extremely high salt content that's famous for naturally soothing aches and pains. A dip in the Dead Sea cures many skin ailments. The salt and other minerals have healing properties that revitalize the skin. People who visit the Dead Sea rub the black mud on their hands, faces and all over their bodies. In other words, it's the biggest natural spa on the planet.
