Jericho Dead Sea - The Facts

1,320 feet below sea level, in the lowest place on earth, you can find the liveliest site in the world – the Dead Sea . With an average of 330 full sunny days a year and Oxygen-rich atmosphere, the Dead Sea is a precious jewel of healing and relaxation for people worldwide.
 
The Dead Sea contains a high concentration of minerals that have seeped from rocks and soil and have been carried by springs to the Dead Sea , which has no outlet. Minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, Potassium and Iron are known for their ability to calm aching muscles and joints, stimulate natural circulation, smooth and soften the skin and help relieve stress and tension.
Jericho Dead Sea
The beautiful Dead Sea
The Dead Sea black mud is a homogeneous mixture of Dead Sea minerals, important organic elements from the shoreline as well as sulfurous earth – all which have proven their therapeutic effects on both body and spirit.
 
The marvelous properties of the Dead Sea have been treasured since the days of King Solomon and Queen Cleopatra. Its minerals and mud have been extracted over the years to produce perfumes, medicine and cosmetics.
 
JERICHO DEAD SEA INFORMATION:
Are Jericho products tested on animals? - Jericho products comply with ISO 9002 standards, are not tested on animals and contain no animal ingredients.
 
Are you using Paraben in your products? No. All our products are paraben-free. This preservative has been replaced with more natural and safer preservatives.
 
Are your products are 100% natural? All our salts, soaps, salt scrubs, black mud and mud wraps are 100% natural. The rest of our products are 85%-95% natural.
 
Jericho Dead Sea
Jericho Energizing Salt Scrub
Can I use other products with Jericho products?
 
Jericho Cosmetics products were developed to complement each other so you can achieve the best results possible. Therefore, we do not recommend mixing them with other products.
 
How are Jericho salts different from other salts on the market?
 
Most of the bath salts on the market are sodium chloride based, i.e. a natural table salt, which will dry your skin.
 
Jericho salts, and salts from the Dead Sea in general, are rich in magnesium and potassium that calm your muscles and joints and offer relief from psoriasis, acne, eczema, and dermatitis.
 
How can I tell that you use original Dead Sea salts and mud? Paloma Dead Sea received the Good Quality Mark for Dead Sea products certificate issued by the Israeli Cosmetics Industry Manufacturers Association, ensuring that all Jericho products are Dead Sea original and are manufactured according the high standards set by the Association.
How do the minerals in the Dead Sea help the skin, body & Mind?
 
Magnesium: Accelerates cell metabolism by activating enzymes.
Chloride: Balances all minerals in the cells and body.
Bromide: Heals and relieves skin disorders. Stimulates the natural repair process.
Sodium: Protects body against fluid loss, balances acid alkali levels and influences muscle activity.
Iodine: Vital for cell metabolism and necessary for production of thyroxin, which regulates the metabolic energy.
Potassium: Helps regulate osmosis and water balance. Stimulates and maintains nerve signals and muscle contractions.
Calcium: Strengthens cell membranes. Necessary for regulation of heart muscles and nerve transmission, building and maintaining bones and teeth.
 
All minerals help relieve stress and tension, and speed up recovery from sport injuries.

Dead Sea Minerals
What are the major minerals in the Dead Sea used in Jericho products? As the lowest point on earth, 1320 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea has an extremely high concentration of salt, minerals, and natural elements that have been known for thousands of years for their therapeutic powers.
 
The Dead Sea contains around 21 minerals including Magnesium, Chloride, Bromide, Sodium, Iodine, Potassium, Calcium. Jericho cosmetics products are formulated and developed using these minerals, as well as plant extracts and natural oils.

Life Retreat's Weekly Round Up!

It's that time of the week again! A weekly round up of what we consider the best articles and blog posts from the last seven days.
 
On Sunday, Samantha posted an article reminding us of how powerful we truly are. Originally written by Robin Sharma.
You were born into greatness.
No evidence exists to suggest otherwise.
But the chattering voices of critics and cynics may have made you forget how powerful you are.
A great piece to pick you up when you've had a rough day, the article asks us to draw on our inner strengths and rise to our best. It's often so easy to go through the motions from day to day, doing the minimum we need to do at work or in our home lives.
 
We should be doing more.
 
Robin writes that once we have reached our potential, we can help others along. An inspiring post, and I urge you to take a few minutes to read it. You can read the full piece here.
On Monday we launched our brand new competition to win an incredible French Affair romantic getaway for two.
Life Retreat

La Provence d'Afrique is the perfect setting for a couple wishing to get away from it all.
 
Husbands can surprise their wives, wives can surprise their husbands. Either way you could win this fantastic prize.
 
Situated just outside the village of Magaliesburg, La Provence d'Afrique is a unique concept of seven French suites built inside a beautiful stone studio sculpted by famous sculptor Charles Gotthard.
 
To read the full competition details, as well as much more about this European paradise (within South Africa!) click here and follow the simple instructions.
 
On Tuesday Josh posted an article entitled "The Magic of the Rugby World Cup." For all you sports fans out there, this was more than a comprehensive article that detailed some of the best moments and matches from world cups of past.
Life Retreat
The Magic of The Rugby World Cup
Including South Africa's incredible victory in 1995, Josh's article spans four world cups and twelve years of rugby history. It's well worth a read.
 
On Thursday we introduced a brand new feature - Savannah Says - in which our newest member of the Life Retreat team, Savannah, will keep updating regularly. It's a mini blog inside our main blog, but we would love you guys to read her articles because they offer new and fresh topics that we may not cover on the rest of Life Retreat.
Savannah says:  Welcome welcome welcome.  I have recently been welcomed on board with Life Retreat, and, I will be blogging on a regular basis. Our blog/shopping website is aimed to inspire you to live a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle.  I, personally know that this is not always easy.  But I try to do my best.  One of my favourite sayings is that “my path to Heaven, is paved with good intentions.”
You can keep up to date with all "Savannah Says" updates by selecting 'Contact' and then 'Savannah Says' on the homepage. To read her first blog post in full, click here.
Finally, this morning Samantha posted an articled entitled "I Got The Becca Glow", a brilliant piece on the beauty and cosmetics brand 'Becca'.
Life Retreat
Becca comes to South Africa
An awesome review of 10 products in the 'Becca' range, this is an article for all the beauty and cosmetics fans.
 
You can read the full, detailed article from Samantha here.
 
So that's our weekly round up from Life Retreat. As we move into August, we will be bringing you much more original content: entertaining, informative and dedicated to you guys. "Savannah Says" will bring a whole new dimension to Life Retreat, and of course we will be posting regular fashion, beauty, nutrition, health and sporting articles.
