Digest an empowering philosophy from Samantha Skyring, CEO of the proudly South African brand Oryx Desert Salt: "Follow your passion, it has incredible power!"
👉 The source may contaminate the salt with harmful pollutants (such as microplastics found in the ocean), and may be finite (meaning, unsustainable)
👉 The method of extraction can leave harmful chemical residues in the salt (such as those found in dynamited rock salts, including some sources of Himalayan salt)
👉 The process of refining table salt includes using artificial free flow and anti caking agents, over-heating the salt, and stripping the salt of their essential minerals.
We'll say it again: the source of your salt matters! Not only for the planet's health, but for your personal health too.
