Mineral

Skin Benefit

Mineral-rich and texture-forward. Pairs with Himalayan salt for a dense, grounding lather.

Spiritual Benefit

Used in Mediterranean and Polynesian bathing and skin scrubs for centuries; coastal cultures have always known what salt water does for the body.

The record

In use for 5,000+ years

Origin

Evaporated from clean seawater in shallow pans, as it has been on every coast.

Harvested

Seawater is fed into salt pans, the sun does the work, and the crystals are raked by hand.

Cultural impact

Salt made cities rich, preserved the food that made voyages possible, and purified in nearly every faith. Bathing in salt water is older than the word spa.

Traditional use

Salt scrubs and sea baths to reset and exfoliate skin, coastal medicine on every shore.
