The Type of Salt Matters

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.

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.⁠
