Sourcing Sustainable Salt
June 23 2025 – Essential Labs
Essential Labs might have what some would consider “expensive” salt, but we have a very good reason for it. We purchase from USA-based manufacturers, who source from the purest of water sources, focusing on sustainable harvesting practices, packaging and delivery. This not only ensures the highest quality of salt but also contributes to the preservation of our environment. We believe in supporting local USA businesses wherever possible. Even if the raw ingredients themselves need to be sourced from international lands or waters, having the final manufacturing process here in the USA allows us to scrutinize and perfect every step to ensure that clean and pure ingredients are delivered to our customers.
Himalayan Salts
An example of Essential Labs' ultimate choice in salt suppliers is evident in the exceptional Himalayan salts, regardless of the grade. These salts are not just any Himalayan salts; they are sourced from ancient seabeds in the Himalayan Mountains that existed and crystallized before modern-day pollutants came into play. They are then carefully and sustainably harvested and cleaned with precision and care, ensuring all minerals remain intact. This unique process ensures that our salts are not only of the highest quality but also free from modern-day pollutants. However, it’s not just the Himalayan salts that receive care; with all details continuously striving for perfection, the supplier uses proprietary processes that not only maintain the inherent mineral content of all natural salts but also guarantee cleanliness, purity, and the best quality available.

Dendritic Salts
Our vendor, as a recognized sustainable mining leader, sources under strict compliance and environmental regulations abiding by local laws in communities where their responsible raw material sourcing takes place.
- High purity sodium chloride is refined and recrystallized using large scale, energy efficient vacuum pan evaporation which maximizes salt recovery and minimizes waste. This method produces a salt structure that enhances flow, blendability and liquid absorption meaning manufacturers need fewer anti-caking or flow agent chemicals in end products.
- Energy-efficient production, environmental stewardship, safety and corporate sustainability commitments aligned with top notch quality and consistency
- Its excellent absorption properties keep fragrances and essential oils locked in your bath products and releases them more evenly in the water. Naturally free-flowing and fast-dissolving, they deliver consistent texture, even scent release, and a spa-worthy feel to your products. These salts are designed for effective and sustainable personal care product needs.
