About
Sea Salts
Salt
baths are a centuries-old ritual used to heal and balance. Salts are
said to draw toxins out of the body, nourish the skin with minerals,
remove, impurities from the skin, help relieve stress, melt away tension
and soothe aching muscles and pains. Bath salts are a simple and delightful
way to add valuable important trace minerals to to the bath water such
as magnesium, sodium, calcium and potassium while softening the water
and gently cleansing the skin. Bath Salts is the ultimate bathing ritual
to pamper the body, mind and spirit at home. As a bonus our salts are
also available enriched with our very popular moisturizing 5 oil blend
at no additional charge, which is formulated using Jojoba, sesame, rice
bran, apricot kernel and sweet almond oil. These oils add moisturizing
properties to the bath salts. These salts come scented in your choice
of scent, when used the essential oils and trace minerals disperse and
penetrate the skin, the result is a bathroom that smells heavenly, and
a luxurious, skin-softening bathing experience
How
the salt is made
Solar
salt is produced through the natural evaporation of sea water and naturally
occurring brine. Salt water is captured in shallow ponds and allowed
to evaporate by means of the sun and wind. During the process, a salt
bed forms on the bottom of the pond. The salt is harvested, washed,
screened and packaged. The typical solar “crop” takes from
one to five years to produce.

Please
Note: Sea salts grains below are typical representation of
grain sizes. Keep in mind that sea salts are formed by a natural crystalization
process and that we cannot control mother nature's ability to determine
crystal garin sizes. Our salt manufacturer does filter the grains
through different size sieves, the salt is then packaged in large
bins for shipment. Salts are fragile and will change in size during
transport and handling, therefore expect a wide range in size with
salt dust also present. Typically the salt grains on top of a master
shipment is larger than the grains on the bottom of a master shipment
due to it's own weight. The bottom line- use the
grain sizes below only as a general rule and not the absolute size.

History
of salt
Salt
is so simple and plentiful that we almost take it for granted.
In
chemical terms, salt is the combination of a sodium ion with a chloride
ion, making it one of the most basic molecules on earth. It's also one
of the most plentiful: it has been estimated that salt deposits under
the state of Kansas alone could supply the entire world's salt needs
for the next 250,000 years.
But salt is also an essential element. Life itself would be impossible
without it, since the human body requires salt in order to function
properly. The concentration of sodium ions in the blood is directly
related to the regulation of safe body fluid levels.
Salt has a long and influential role in world history. From the dawn
of civilization, salt has been a key factor in Economic, religious,
social and political development. In every part of the world, salt has
been the subject of superstition, folklore, and warfare, it has even
been used as currency.
