How It Works

The Type of Salt Matters

Take one easy step toward a more natural kitchen: choose Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® instead of heavily refined table salt. Unlike common table salt that is bleached, stripped down to just sodium and chloride, and mixed with additives like anti-caking agents that can give it an industrial chemical taste. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt is a beautiful crystal salt formed millions of years ago and hand-mined from a single protected source in the Himalayan foothills. It naturally contains a broad spectrum of trace elements within its crystalline structure to support overall wellness and add delicious flavor to your food.* Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® is not just any salt, it’s distinct for its beautiful, naturally formed crystalline geometry. Each crystal maintains a stable lattice structure that reflects its natural formation and composition. When dissolved in water, the crystals naturally release the trace elements they contain, contributing to their distinctive mineral profile and flavor.* With many Himalayan salts on the market, certification matters. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® comes with: ✓ Certificate of Analysis ✓ Structural analysis confirming crystalline form ✓ Validation from scientific research For more than 20 years, Symphony Natural Health has been the exclusive U.S. supplier of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®, ensuring consistent sourcing, fair labor practices and community reinvestment. Lab testing confirms no detectable microplastics, and every crystal maintains its original mineral-rich crystalline structure.*

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALTS

The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Difference

Mineral & Element Comparison of Popular Salts +

Popular salts vary in their mineral and trace element content, manufacturing and mining processes, and presence of microplastics. These differences can influence not only the nutritional value and purity of the salt, but also its taste, texture and how it interacts in the body. By comparing these factors, we can better understand the unique qualities of each salt and make more informed choices based on personal priorities, whether that’s mineral richness, sourcing practices or overall quality. While sodium chloride (NaCl) remains the primary component of all salts, those containing a broader range of naturally occurring trace elements reflect a greater degree of mineral complexity. This diversity may support a more balanced flavor, provide a richer source of electrolytes, and indicate minimal refining or processing. In essence, a salt with a higher number of trace minerals and elements can reflect a more intact and naturally derived composition. In contrast, highly refined salts tend to lose much of this inherent complexity during their manufacturing process. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® stands apart for its exceptionally high number of trace minerals and elements, reflecting a fully intact crystalline structure formed under ancient geological pressure. This natural complexity not only supports a balanced mineral profile and clean taste but also indicates a salt that remains unrefined, unpolluted, and closer to its original state in nature.

INGREDIENTS AND SOURCING

A Single, Protected Source in the Foothills of the Himalayan Mountains

Every grain of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® comes from a single, protected deposit deep in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan, known for its pristine environment and naturally balanced mineral profile. For over 20 years, Symphony Natural Health has partnered directly at this source to ensure purity, sustainability and respect for the land and the people who mine it.

Our Commitment to Ethical Sourcing

Verified Purity

+

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® comes from the foothills of the Himalayas and was formed over the last 250 million years after the evaporation of an ancient ocean that once covered that area.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As our Certificate of Analysis shows, our salt has 84 trace elements minerals, in the very ratios similar to in the human body and obviously no modern day pollutants that we find in our oceans today.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The structure and small particle size support absorption into our cells which promote hydration, versus normal table salt which dehydrates.⁠*
⁠⠀
Most importantly, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® has research on its health benefits as published in the book Water & Salt the Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreria showing its impact on cellular communication, hydration, supporting acid-alkaline balance and normalized blood pressure.⁠*

Social Impact

+

Our partnership in Pakistan, where we source Original Himalayan Crystal Salt, has enabled us to not just have a financial impact on the local community, but also a significant social impact. We achieve this through supporting education through local schools as well as ensuring there is no child or slave labor used in our mines.

We believe we have a social responsibility, not just to the health of our customers, but to the health and well-being of our team and partners around the world.

We believe that every single person, whether you are working in a mine in the foothills of the Himalayas or in our warehouse in Utah, should be able to earn a living wage and most importantly have a safe work environment.

Environmental Impact

+

To ensure a safe working environment, and to lessen the potential environmental impact on our planet, we do not use explosives in any of our mining processes. ⁠

But, our commitment to having the smallest environmental impact possible extends far beyond our no explosives policy. To minimize the impact we have on local flora, fauna, streams and landscapes, we use only hand-mining techniques to extract our salts and, rather than carve wide roads into the valley and mountainside to cater for large trucks, we make the choice to use man-power and donkeys to transport our crystal stones from the mine to the sorting and packing facilities.⁠

Economic Impact

+

We believe in forming deep relationships that are life changing, not just with our customers, but also with our business partners around the world.

Having worked in developing countries for 22 years we realized early on that by paying 20-30% more through Fair Trade type programs for commodities like coffee, herbs or salt, the income of the local communities was significantly improved.

However, we learnt that we could make an even greater impact by establishing strong joint-venture partnerships with the local people to create value-added goods, small industry, and year-round employment, we could inject up to 10 times the amount of money into those communities and really change lives.

The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Logo

+

The depth of our relationship to the local community we partner with and our support through their schools is symbolized by our Original Himalayan Crystal Salt logo, which is the insignia of the Royal Education Foundation in the Hunza area where our mine is located The Royal Education Foundation graciously extends their blessing for us to use their insignia as a reflection of our connection to the Hunza people and the authentic origin of our unique salts.⁠

The beautiful pink salt crystals mined from the Himalayan foothills are untouched by pollution and contain trace elements and minerals unavailable in other forms of salt. We wouldn't consider using any other form of salt and recommend it to all of our students."

What is the difference between Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® and other salts?

How is Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® sourced?

+

It is hand-mined from a single protected source in the Himalayan foothills using traditional methods that avoid explosives or industrial mining.

What kind of salt shaker should I use with my Fine Granulated Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®?

+

Salt shakers of a natural fiber (glass, ceramic, wood or bamboo) should be used with Fine Granulated Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®.

Plastic and acrylic salt shakers can alter the molecular structure of the salt. Never use a metal salt shaker.

What is the difference between your different types of salt? Is one type better for me?

+

The only difference between our salt products is the grind.  

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® is hand mined from a single protected source.  It is crushed into Stones using a stone hammer.  For the smaller grinds, these Stones are then ground down using a ceramic salt mill. They only come into contact with natural fibers. There are no additives in our salt. All Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® products retain the 84 elements, minerals and bioenergetic qualities of the salt as it was formed in the foothills of Himalayan mountains.
