The Incredible Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt Soap Bars

Wondering about that pink salt you keep seeing everywhere? Himalayan salt scrubs. Rubs. Lamps. There are many health claims made about Himalayan salt. Advocates and marketers sometimes say it’s healthier than other types of salt. Studies show that it is one of the purest salts available. (1)

As with any trendy ingredient, though, it makes sense to take what you hear with, well, “a grain of salt”. Does pink Himalayan salt taste good? Yes. Does eating it offer some health benefits? Yes. Does it benefit skin? Absolutely. Will it cure your asthma? Probably not.

Let’s take a closer look at Himalayan salt and how it can be beneficial to your skin.


What Is Himalayan Salt

Pink Himalayan salt is a pink-colored salt extracted from the Khewra Salt Mine, which is located near the Himalayas in Pakistan. The Khewra Salt Mine is one of the oldest and largest salt mines in the world.

The pink Himalayan salt harvested from this mine is believed to have been formed millions of years ago from the evaporation of ancient bodies of water. The salt is hand-extracted and minimally processed to yield an unrefined product that’s free of additives and thought to be much more natural than table salt.

Like table salt, pink Himalayan salt is mostly comprised of sodium chloride. However, the natural harvesting process allows pink Himalayan salt to possess many other minerals and trace elements that are not found in regular table salt.

Some people estimate it may contain up to 84 different minerals and trace elements. In fact, it’s these very minerals, especially iron, that give it its characteristic pink color. (2) All of these minerals aid our body’s natural detoxification process and promote the removal of bacteria. You can find it in several forms, from exfoliating bath salts to cooking brines and salt lamps.

Here at Natural Skin Revival, we use pink Himalayan salt in our salt soap bars.
