Pink Himalayan salt is a natural, unrefined rock salt mined in Pakistan. While chemically 98% sodium chloride, it contains trace minerals (like magnesium, potassium, and iron) that give it a pink hue.Key Benefits & UsesTrace Minerals: It contains over 80 trace minerals, making it less processed than standard, chemically stripped table salt.Cooking & Flavor: Many prefer its milder flavor profile for seasoning foods. Because its crystals are larger, it may yield less sodium per teaspoon compared to finely ground table salt.Hydration: Like any sodium source, it acts as an electrolyte, aiding in hydration and the balance of bodily fluids when added to water.Skincare: Its coarse texture makes it an excellent natural exfoliant for scrubs or bath soaks to soften the skin.
