🩶 Grey (Celtic) Sea Salt

Also known as: Sel Gris • Celtic Grey Salt • French Sea Salt
Family: Mineral Salt (Harvested from Seawater)
Origin: Brittany Coast, France
Primary Use: Internal & External

✨ Description

Harvested from the cool coastal marshes of Brittany, France, Celtic Grey Sea Salt is one of the purest and most mineral-rich salts in the world.
Unlike refined white table salt, which is stripped of its trace minerals, this hand-harvested, sun-dried salt retains its natural grey hue and its balance of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and over 80 essential minerals that help hydrate and restore the body’s natural electrolyte balance.

Its moist, slightly coarse texture and oceanic flavor make it prized by chefs and herbalists alike — both for its culinary depth and restorative health properties.

Celtic Salt doesn’t just season your food — it replenishes your body.

🌼 Harvest & Sourcing

Our Grey Celtic Sea Salt is hand-raked using traditional wooden tools from the coastal salt pans of Guérande, France, where seawater evaporates naturally under the sun and wind.
The salt crystallizes slowly in clay-lined ponds, giving it its characteristic grey tint and soft, moist texture.
It is unrefined, unbleached, and free of additives — a true gift from the sea.

⚖️ Energetics & Taste

Taste: Mild, mineral-rich, and slightly briny.
Texture: Soft, moist, and coarse.
Energetic Profile: Grounding, nourishing, and cleansing.
Pairs well with: Lemon, Olive Oil, Seaweed, Ginger, and Garlic.

⚠️ Warnings

Those with severe kidney disease or hypertension should moderate salt intake.
Store in an airtight container to preserve its natural moisture.
Not intended for internal use in excess — balance is key.

🌻 A Note from the Herbalist

Grey Celtic Salt reminds us that true nourishment comes from nature’s balance — not isolation.
It brings the ocean’s minerals to your table, your bath, and your spirit — grounding the body in the rhythm of the tides.
To use it is to return to the source: the sea itself.
