Overview
The Dead Sea is a historically significant area of the world and is the deepest land location on the Earth. For centuries people have sworn by the restorative powers of the Dead Sea mud and the minerals that are contained within it. Lately, numerous products have shown up on the market that claim to utilize this innate healing power of the Dead Sea minerals.
The Dead Sea mud contains over 25 minerals as well as small amounts of trace elements such as copper and zinc. Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams are becoming one of the more popular Dead Sea products as they claim to offer many all-natural benefits that many chemically based cosmeceuticals do not.
Product Details
While examining the different Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams, you will find some that are basically made with just mud and some preservatives, while others will add a host of additional, beneficial ingredients. Some of the best products we have found contain additional ingredients such as Vitamins A, C, and E, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, and similar moisturizers and anti-oxidants.
Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams vary greatly in price depending on the ingredients and the manufacturer. We found a good, all natural eye cream for under $30.00 and you got about 4 ounces of cream. On the opposite end of that spectrum, we found another very similar product that cost $159.00 and while this did contain Dead Sea mud in the ingredients list, it also contained close to 24 additional ingredients. Make sure you shop around and read independent reviews of these individual products before spending a lot of money on them.
The Good
- Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams usually contain numerous beneficial minerals.
- Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams almost always double as sunscreens due to the nature of the mud used.
- Many of these products will incorporate anti-oxidants and vitamins into them in addition to the beneficial mud.
The Bad
- Prices vary wildly from site to site for any products made with Dead Sea mud.
- It can be difficult to determine if products actually use Dead Sea mud as an ingredient or if they just say they do.
- Dead Sea products may be good for protective reasons but we aren't convinced that they will help get rid of wrinkles.
- Little actual clinical research is available to verify the many dramatic claims made regarding Dead Sea based products.
The Bottom Line
The Dead Sea has been an fascinating place since history has been recorded, and there is no doubt that the area's mud contains a ton of beneficial vitamins. But how much is just capitalizing on the mystique of the place? The only problem with products containing this mud is that it can be impossible to determine if the mud actually came from the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea anti-wrinkle eye creams vary in price so much that you will really have to research each product as well as the manufacturer to make sure you aren't spending money on something worthless.
