Edom Dead Sea Review

On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

At first glance, the Edom Dead Sea line of skin care products would seem to offer a pretty novel new approach to skin care. The Dead Sea itself is famous for the high concentration of salt and minerals found in its waters, which have long been touted for their therapeutic healing powers. Hoping to capitalize on this reputation, Edom Dead Sea have manufactured a line of skin care products that claim to make use of these minerals for their primary active ingredient. It is unclear where Edom Dead Sea products are manufactured, but it seems that they are primarily imported by Import & Wholesale EDOM, a Canadian-based import company. The official product website is in English, French and Russian, implying that the product does have an international clientele. The three primary product divisions from Edom are hair products, body product and facial products. Additionally, they offer pre-selected gift packages.

The signature product from Edom Dead Sea is there Mineral Anti Wrinkle Cream Q-10. This product claims to use a combination of vitamins to improve skin firmness. It also claims to act as an adequate UV ray blocker, thus preventing further damage from harmful free radicals.

Product Details

Unfortunately, a full ingredient list for Edom Dead Sea Mineral Anti Wrinkle Cream Q-10 does not seem to be available from the official product web site. We are told that it makes use of the coenzyme Q-10, as well as Vitamin A and Vitamin E. Presumably, the product also contains a healthy dose of Dead Sea salt. Not surprisingly given all of the product claims, Edom Dead Sea makes many miracle claims for said sea salt. For example, it is claimed that salt harvested from the dead sea has ten time the mineral content of standard sea salt. The company uses this salt to absorb essential oils that are then released directly into the skin when their products are used.

Minerals that are claimed to be found in Dead Sea salt are: Chlorine, Iodine, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium and Bromine. All of these minerals are claimed to benefit the skin directly.

To achieve ideal results, the Edom Dead Sea Mineral Anti Wrinkle Cream Q-10 is intended to be used in conjunction with the other Edom Dead Sea products; a Night Cream and an Eye Cream.

The Good

  • Product is relatively inexpensive.
  • Product is available from an official Canadian retailer.
  • Product offers a unique ingredient.

The Bad

  • Product website reads like it was awkwardly translated from another language, making many points unclear.
  • No free trial or money back guarantee are offered by the manufacturer.
  • While pages of anecdotal science are provided, little information is available about actual product development or testing.
  • No full ingredient list offered.

The Bottom Line

We agree that having a product containing salt from the Dead Sea is pretty cool. Unfortunately, Edom Dead Sea has not done the best job of supporting this product. It cold be a “lost in translation” thing, but a lot of product info is very vague. No ingredients are given and no guarantees are offered. Big claims are made on behalf of Edom Dead Sea’s exotic active ingredient, but we’d like to see these claims backed up.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
