More about Coarse Sea Salt

Sea salt is obtained by letting seawater evaporate in salt pans. These are created shallow basins where seawater is directed. After evaporation, the remaining salt is scooped up, ground and sieved for impurities. This is the traditional way to extract salt and has the advantage that smaller minerals are not lost in the process, but remain present in the finished product.

Our coarse sea salt comes from Portugal, where it is extracted in the lagoon of the Ria Formosa nature reserve, which is located on the Algarve coast. The salt is - of course - suitable for consumption and can also be added to all kinds of care products.

Use

You can of course use the coarse sea salt in the kitchen, just as you are used to. In addition, you can process coarse sea salt in many different ways in care products. What about a lovely coarse salt scrub for example? Mix 100 grams of coarse sea salt and 100 grams of fine sea salt in 50 ml 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). This scrub works great to exfoliate naturally (= remove dead skin cells) and make your skin supple, soft and radiant again. Preferably don't use this scrub on your face and sensitive skin, for that you can better make a scrub with only fine sea salt.
