About our sodium bicarbonate

Sourced from a natural deposit in the USA, our bicarb soda is environmentally friendly and safe for a variety of cleaning and culinary uses. This versatile product has a wide range of uses in the home or workplace, from a soak in a relaxing bath to uses as a scrub or for washing and cleaning.

You can buy our Sodium Bicarbonate in bulk, or find it below in our online shop in a range of sizes for your convenience.

How can bicarb soda be used in bath salts?

Add two cups of bicarb soda to a warm (not hot) bath and soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

Bicarb soda is best used for bathing in combination with Epsom salts.  Used together, the bicarb soda enhances the magnesium of the Epsom salt and allows the body to absorb more magnesium, thus giving optimum results.

Common uses for bicarb soda include:

  • Bath salts for relaxation, relief of itchy skin, exfoliation, sunburn relief, foot soak, alkalising
  • Household cleaning
  • Natural toothpaste and mouth wash
  • Natural deodorant

All of our products are natural and sustainably sourced, however many other brands available offer products artificially manufactured in factories.

Why should I use bath salts?

The benefits of bathing in a salt and baking soda are widely known and varied in effect, but the main goal of this widespread practice is improving your overall wellness.

Baths have long been regarded as an effective way of pampering skin, with long-lasting and hydrating benefits for dry skin and conditions involving a compromised skin barrier.

Among our offerings, Dead Sea and Himalayan Pink Salt contain many trace minerals, and Magnesium Flakes and Epsom are high in Magnesium.

Are all bath salts natural?

No. All the sodium bicarbonate products and bath salts we offer are 100% natural, and sustainably sourced from authentic locations around the world.

We only source products of the highest quality which do not require commercial grade cleaning or distillation.

However, many brands of bath products are artificially manufactured in factories and some chemicals of a lower quality are cleaned using non-natural methods.  Check the sources before purchasing.

Can you mix different bath salts together?

Yes. They can be mixed together to combine the benefits of more than one type.

We highly recommend trying to blend your own bath soak, using Epsom, Himalayan Pink, Dead Sea, or even our Hawaiian Black Salt with Activated Charcoal.

Adding essential oils and sodium bicarbonate brings additional wellness benefits.

Food Salt FAQs

All the food salts in our range are made from natural sea salt, with the exception of Himalayan Pink Salt which is a rock salt (which is actually also an ancient sea salt!). All contain their natural trace elements. Our gourmet flavoured salts are more than just a blend of ingredients. The flavour is bound to the sea salt crystals in a unique process. The result is a salt that is more impactful on the palate, and has better aroma, than just a dry mix of seasonings. The process is 100% natural, and we only use natural ingredients. So our Roasted Garlic Salt contains only Sea Salt and Garlic, and our Vintage Merlot Salt is just Sea Salt and Red Wine!

Sea Salt is harvested from evaporated sea water and is therefore unrefined and coarser in appearance to regular table salt. Himalayan Pink Salt is a rock salt, harvested in large pieces which is then broken into Coarse or Fine grain sizes. The pink colour is caused by the many minerals found in this salt. Other salts are slightly grey in colour – for example as Sel Gris is harvested, it comes in contact with the bottom of the salt pan, increasing the mineral content and causing the grey colour. Flavoured salts often take on colour from the ingredients that are added to them, for example the rich red of our Vintage Merlot Salt, or the green of our Matcha Green Tea Salt. Fleur de Sel, also known as The Queen of Salts, has delicate, flower shaped crystals that are formed on the surface of sea water as it evaporates.

Salt is one of the basic flavours that human’s taste, and therefore very important in cooking. It can also enhance other flavours, such as sweet, sour and umami, and can curb bitterness. Salt can be added during the cooking process, or used as a finishing salt, after cooking is completed.

Our gourmet salts are available in a variety of textures. Large grained salts add a strong, crunchy salty note when used as a finishing salt. Or they can be used in grinders if a finer texture is required. Smaller grained salts are useful for a more delicate salty addition, or a great used in cooking as they dissolve easily.

Many flavoured salts are effective as a finishing salt due to their colour and aroma. Add Truffle Salt to potatoes, use Black Lava Salt on the rim of a cocktail glass or sprinkle Vintage Merlot Salt on the surrounding white plate.
