Bath salt grades

Fine grain (0.2–2 mm) dissolves quickly for soaking baths. Coarse (2–5 mm) is popular for pouches and display. Chunk grade suits luxury spa jars. All grades are washed and sun-dried at Khewra.

How to use at home

Dissolve fine bath salt in warm water before entering the tub. Avoid very hot water that dries skin. Rinse the tub after use to prevent salt residue buildup. Store opened pouches in a dry place — salt is hygroscopic.

Wholesale & private label

Export in 25 kg bulk bags or retail stand-up pouches with your artwork. Scented programs require agreed fragrance load and stability testing. Request pricing at /wholesale/salt or /bath-salt-wholesale.
