FAQ's

What is The Primal Sea, and Where can I find it?
The Primal Sea was the original Sea of Life on our planet. Due to major climate changes, this Sea of Life began disappearing well over a period of 250 million years . The only true remnant of this ancient sea is literally the Salt of Earth: Himalayan Crystal Salt.

Himalayan Crystal Salt --- which crystallized over hundreds of millions of years from the intense heat and pressure of shifting tectonic plates—contains the purest elements still in existence on our planet.

Why should I care about purifying the air inside my home?
Americans spend between 65 to 90 percent of their time indoors, typically at home, according to the most recent surveys conducted by the U.S Environment Protection Agency (EPA).
Imagine the impact on your health if the air inside your home is contaminated.

Common activities like cleaning, cooking, heating, cooling and redecorating can all release and spread indoor pollutants in your home. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the inside of our homes can be more polluted than outside.

How do these Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps and Candleholders work?
Crystal Salt is one of the minerals whose atomic structure is bound electrically, not molecularly. Gentle heat to the Crystal Salt creates a higher surface temperature than the surrounding air, which allows the natural humidity in the air to condense on the Crystal’s surface. This enables the electrically bound sodium chloride to split into independent sodium (positive) and chloride (negative) ions. This natural ionization creates an electric charge, a pure natural energy. After the water molecules evaporate again, the sodium and chloride ions turn back into crystalline mineral. This natural process takes place millions of times, invisible to the eye and without any influence to the quality of the crystal. This is the same process that occurs every part of a second on our oceans; when the sun warms up the ocean, generating negative ions, thus creating fresh air.

How will the natural ionizing powers of Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps and Candleholders protect my family?
The atomic structure of Crystal Salt contains more negative, chloride ions than positive, sodium ions, which result in the emission of negative ions during the natural ionization process. The negative ions essentially become dust collectors, attaching themselves to positively charged dust particles and cigarette smoke, cleansing the indoor air of dust, bacteria and pollutants. Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps and Candleholders are thus the world’s only natural ionizer and air purifier.

How do I take care of Himalayan Crystal Lamps and Candleholders?
The Salt Crystals tend to attract moisture by nature therefore it is recommended not to use Crystal Lamps and Candleholders outdoors. If they do show signs of dampness, turning on the lamp or lighting the candle will dry them out. Himalayan Salt Corp is the ONLY Company in the world that offers a moisture absorbing base for Lamps and Candleholders so that your precious furniture is safe from any moisture damage.

Should I keep my Crystal Lamp on all the time?
Keep your lamp lit all the time for maximum benefit. The crystal emits negative ions even when it is not lit. However, the process of ionization amplifies by giving gentle warmth to the crystal. Himalayan Salt Corp’s Lamp comes with a 15 Watts Bulb. You may even discover a decrease in your electricity costs- as you will now be less inclined to flip the switch for overhead lights every time you enter a room.

Leaving any electrical unit or candlelight unattended is not advised.
