Sherpa Pink Himalayan Salt Extra Fine Grain Review

I've seen people talk about pink salt and how much better it was than regular salt due to all the trace minerals and elements. I understand that there are only trace amounts, but sometimes a little goes a long way. I really don't use that much salt in my food and I was looking for salt for a salt and sugar scrub. I choose this basically because it was a novelty and it's pink.

The SF Salt Company says that Himalayan salt has great health benefits and can help re-mineralise your body. Since your skin is your largest organ, maybe some of it would get absorbed and work its magic. Plus, it's pink. You can't beat that.

Is Pink Salt Special?

I don't know to be honest. I've seen the information that says it can detoxify your skin and has therapeutic due to the multitude of minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper. You can buy it here. I also know that what you put in your body matters as well. This salt, by the way, is food-grade. It's not like you can just magically slather something on to your skin and eat junk.

With that being said, I like to make my own sugar and salt scrubs. It's much cheaper and you have more control over the ingredients than the ones you buy in stores. It's so easy as well. If you have kids, they can help out too.

I've also learned that when water gets added to a product, you will most likely need a preservative. Salt is not enough of a preservative if you're splashing water all over your salt scrub. What I do is make a batch of salt/sugar scrub with a carrier oil then stick it in silicone ice cube trays and freeze them. Then I pop them out of the trays and stick them in a container in my freezer. Before I take a shower, I take one or two out and defrost them so they're ready to use when I take a shower. I use up one or two cubes so there's nothing left over and no bacteria can grow on it. I take showers at night, so take out a cube or two when I get home from work. If you take showers in the morning, you could also take the cubes out when you get home at night and just use them in the morning.

Anyways, I helped a friend out and she gave me an Amazon gift card, so I figured I might as well buy somethings that I normally wouldn't buy.

Product Details

It's 100% Himalayan salt, extra fine grain. They have four choices: powder, extra fine grain, fine grain and coarse grain. The powder version is simply powder. The extra fine grain is 0-0.5mm in size and it good for salt shakers. The grain is 0-1mm in size and good for culinary usage and your health. The coarse grain is 2-3mm in size and good for ceramics, salt mills/grinders. It would probably also be good for foot soaks.

I really wish I had bought the fine grain instead of the extra fine grain. I feel like there's not enough grit or scrubbing powder. I usually use the salt and sugar scrub along with a kessa hammam exfoliating glove. The glove along with the salt and sugar scrub work really well. Make sure to wash your glove often.

Would I Get This Again?

I would not get this again to use as a body scrub. I might get it to use to flavor my food, but I would like to get a nice salt grinder and then get the coarse grain salt because I think it would look nicer. Plus, the idea of grinding salt and pepper right at the table has a fancy feel to it to me.  For a body scrub, I feel like the fine grain is too fine and the coarse grain would be too course. I would like to try a medium grain salt. However, I know everyone is different. If this sounds like something you would like to try, you can buy it here.

Size, Price, and Packaging

It's pretty decently priced for a 2 pound bag. I haven't used it for foot soaks yet, but one of these days I will get around to it. The packaging is simple. It's a white and blue plastic bag with a resealable zipper closure on it.

Safety

Patch test before using. The saying, "rubbing salt into a wound" exists for a reason.
