Himalayan Pink Salt Wholesale Buying Guide

Himalayan pink salt is one of Pakistan's most recognisable export products. Sourced from the Khewra Salt Mine in Punjab, one of the world's largest salt mines, it is exported to food manufacturers, health food retailers, spa product companies, wellness brands and bulk commodity buyers in over 70 countries.

Salt grades for wholesale buyers

• Food grade (edible): Suitable for human consumption. Used in food manufacturing, restaurant supply and retail. Available with lab analysis reports.
• Bath and spa grade: Coarser granulations for bath salts, body scrubs and spa products. Not certified for human consumption.
• Lamp and craft grade: Large chunks and slabs for decorative salt lamps and craft applications.

Granulation options

Himalayan pink salt is available in multiple granulation sizes to suit different end applications. Fine (0.3–0.5mm) is used in table salt and cooking; coarse (1–3mm) suits cooking, grinders and bath salts; medium (2–5mm) is popular for grinders and pickling; chunks and slabs are used for salt blocks, lamps and decorative purposes.

Documentation for food-grade pink salt

For food-grade Himalayan pink salt imports, buyers typically require a lab analysis report (confirming sodium chloride content, heavy metal levels and microbiological safety), a Certificate of Origin, and a phytosanitary or food safety certificate depending on the destination country. MSA Exports supplies lab analysis reports per shipment on request.
