Himalayan salt is a natural salt formed millions of years ago by the evaporation of ancient seas at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan. The beautiful pink salt crystals are mined deep within Himalayan caves and are rich in minerals and trace elements. This pure Himalayan salt forms the basis for all our salt lamps, salt stones, and wellness products.

The biggest difference is the origin and purity. Pink Himalayan salt comes from salt mines, is unprocessed, and free of chemical additives. This preserves essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Sea salt is extracted from evaporated seawater and is often further processed. Himalayan salt contains more natural trace elements than regular sea salt and is popular for use in cooking, wellness, and as the base for the popular Himalayan salt lamp.

A Himalayan salt lamp is known for its warm, atmospheric light and natural appearance. Many people choose a salt lamp for the following advantages:

• Natural air purification: By attracting moisture particles from the air, dust, pollen and allergens are reduced.
• Relaxation & tranquility: The soft orange light creates a calming atmosphere in your home, ideal for the living room, bedroom, children's room, or yoga studio.
• Positive energy: According to the principles of feng shui, a salt lamp brings balance and tranquility to the room.
• Perfect gift: A Himalayan salt lamp is an original gift for any occasion, such as a birthday, housewarming or as a wellness gift.

Yes, giving a salt lamp as a gift is very popular in the Netherlands!

Absolutely. A Himalayan salt lamp is safe to use, even in the bedroom or nursery. The soft light promotes a good night's sleep and has a calming effect on all ages. However, please ensure that pets and small children cannot lick the lamp.

A Himalayan salt lamp is a unique, sustainable, and stylish gift for any occasion. Its warm light and air-purifying properties make it an ideal wellness gift for all ages.

Many users find that a salt lamp improves air quality by neutralizing dust particles and allergens. This effect isn't scientifically proven, but many people with hay fever or allergies find the use of a Himalayan salt lamp pleasant.

A salt lamp on your desk creates a relaxing atmosphere and reduces the negative effects of radiation from electrical appliances. It's an ideal mindful gift for colleagues or a mood-enhancing addition to your home office.

For best results, place a salt lamp in spaces where you want to relax, such as the living room, bedroom, or office. Salt lamps are also often used in offices, children's rooms, or during yoga/meditation. For optimal effectiveness, keep the lamp on as much as possible.

You can place a salt lamp in the bathroom, but make sure it doesn't get wet and turn the lamp on regularly to prevent moisture problems.

A genuine Himalayan salt lamp will last for years. Only the bulb will need replacing occasionally. Turn the lamp on regularly to prevent moisture and mold.

Yes, if a salt lamp is turned off for too long or placed in a damp room, it can sweat water or even become moldy. Therefore, turn the lamp on regularly and avoid placing it directly in a damp environment.

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the salt surface. Never use cleaning agents or immerse the lamp in water.

A salt rock is a block of pure Himalayan salt, directly harvested from nature. It's used in making salt lamps, wellness products (such as bath salts and scrubs), kitchenware (such as grill stones), and decorative items. Salt rocks add ambiance to any room and are valued for their soothing effect.

If you handle it with care, a salt stone product can last decades. Of course, during that time, you might need to replace a light bulb in the salt lamps occasionally.

Yes, a salt stone or salt lamp is an original and sustainable gift, loved by lovers of wellness, interior design and natural products.

If a salt stone product releases water, it's a sign that the environment it's in is too humid or too cold. Therefore, always store the products at room temperature.

Salt stone products, such as Himalayan salt lamps, are a true delicacy for horses. But licking a salt lamp or salt stone is dangerous for smaller pets like dogs, cats, and rabbits. They can easily ingest too much salt, which can lead to salt poisoning – serious and sometimes even life-threatening. Therefore, always keep Himalayan salt lamps out of reach of pets.

The same advice applies to children: always place salt lamps securely and stably, so they can't fall over or be within easy reach. This not only prevents the risk of licking the salt, but also prevents children from accidentally knocking over the heavy lamp while playing.

In short: Salt lamps are atmospheric and healthy for your interior, but always keep them away from pets and young children for maximum safety.

Soap nuts are the dried fruit of the Sapindus tree. These trees grow in the Himalayas of India, Nepal, and Pakistan. They contain a natural soap (saponin) that is released in warm water and provides gentle, natural cleaning of clothing. Ideal for people with sensitive skin. Soap nuts are 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainably grown.

For a normal wash cycle, use 4 to 6 half soap nuts, depending on the amount of laundry and how dirty it is. Place the nuts in a small cotton laundry bag (for example, the one often provided) and place it directly in the drum with your laundry. Don't use the soap nuts in the soap dispenser, as they won't be effective there.

Soap nuts are suitable for temperatures from 30°C. At 40°C to 60°C, the natural cleansing agents (saponins) are effectively released. For more intensive cleaning, such as for bedding, sportswear, or diapers, you can safely wash at 90°C. Note: at high temperatures, the soap nuts are usually for single use only , as the saponins are fully released during the wash cycle.

After washing, check if the soap nuts are still usable. If they remain soft and shiny inside, you can safely reuse them—usually for up to 2 or 3 washes at low temperatures. If they are hard and dull, you can dispose of them with your organic waste. Reuse the soap nuts immediately or let them dry thoroughly between uses to prevent mold.

For a fresh scent, add a few drops of essential oil (such as lavender or eucalyptus) to the fabric softener compartment. Alternatively, you can use a small dash of white vinegar as a natural fabric softener—this also helps descale your machine.

Soap nuts are not suitable for extremely short or cold programs (below 30°C), as they won't release enough active ingredients. For hard water or heavily soiled laundry, consider adding a small amount of baking soda or stain remover for extra power.

Yes, soap nuts are hypoallergenic and contain no perfumes or chemicals. They are ideal for babies, people with eczema, or sensitive skin.

Yes, soap nuts are surprisingly versatile and can be used for more than just the washing machine. The saponin naturally found in soap nuts acts as a mild, natural soap. By briefly boiling soap nuts in water, you can easily make a liquid soap nut extract suitable for all sorts of household applications.

You can use this homemade extract as an all-purpose cleaner for your kitchen, bathroom, or floors. It removes dirt and grease without harsh chemicals and is safe for people with sensitive skin or allergies. The extract is also frequently used as a dishwashing liquid, window cleaner, or even a natural shampoo or hand soap. When using it for personal care, be sure to test the extract on a small area of skin first.

You can also use the extract to clean pet supplies, such as baskets or toys, because it's gentle and free of harmful substances. Before using on delicate surfaces or textiles, it's always wise to test a small sample first.

The soap nut extract will keep for several days in the refrigerator. You can add a few drops of natural essential oil for added fragrance and antibacterial properties. Always use a tightly sealed bottle or spray bottle for easy application.

Absolutely. They're 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainably grown. They're an excellent alternative to synthetic detergents.
