More about Fine Sea Salt

Sea salt is harvested by letting seawater evaporate in salt pans. These are created shallow basins into which seawater is channeled. After evaporation, the remaining salt is scooped up, ground and sieved to remove impurities. This is the traditional way of producing salt, and its advantage is that smaller minerals are not lost in the process but remain present in the final product.

Our fine sea salt comes from Portugal, where it is harvested in the lagoon of the Ria Formosa nature reserve, located on the Algarve coast. The salt can be added to all kinds of personal care products.

Usage

You can use fine sea salt in many different ways in personal care products. How about a luxurious sea salt scrub? To make one, mix 200 grams of fine sea salt with 50 ml of carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil) and add a few drops of essential oil (e.g. lavender, manuka or lemongrass). For a more thorough scrub, for example to tackle your legs and feet, you can replace half of the salt with coarse sea salt. Besides scrubs, you can also use fine sea salt in a shampoo or in a salt spray.
