Abstract
Compositions are provided which include at last one Dead Sea extract and at least one polysaccharide, wherein the repeating unit of said polysaccharide is a tetrasaccharide consisting of two D-glucose residues, one L-fucose residue and one D-glucuronic acid residue. Formulations include the compositions which are used as skin protectants against pollution.
