Sauna Salt ILMARI Starter Pack is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a truly holistic wellness and relaxation experience in the sauna. This natural sauna salt moisturizes the steam, clears your airways, and pampers your skin with every warm breath.

Breathe easier – gentle salt steam in your sauna

Sauna salt makes the steam softer and easier to breathe. As the salt vaporizes on the hot stones, it releases a fine mist that enters your respiratory tract with every breath. This traditional method has been used to support wellness in people with asthma and allergies. It may help loosen mucus, reduce swelling in mucous membranes, and promote natural cleansing of the airways. Sauna salt is an easy and natural way to care for your breathing while relaxing in the steam.

Smooth and supple skin – naturally in the sauna

Sauna bathing already benefits the skin, but the combination of heat and salt takes it a step further. Sauna salt gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps moisture penetrate deeper into the skin. For dry or atopic skin, the salt treatment is a gentle and natural helper. Completely additive-free and antibacterial, sauna salt is also suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Clean skin, soft feeling – straight from the sauna.

A natural choice – responsibly sourced salt

ILMARI Sauna Salts contain pure Atlantic Sea Salt or Himalayan Crystal Salt – 100% natural and additive-free. These salts retain their original minerals and trace elements, are food-grade, unrefined, and of the highest quality.

Pure sea salt from Portugal

Sea salt is a natural crystal formed as seawater evaporates under sun and wind. This slow crystallization process preserves valuable minerals and nutrients that support overall wellbeing.

Himalayan Crystal Salt from Pakistan

Himalayan salt is over 250 million years old and formed as ancient seas evaporated. It is mined in the salt layers of the Himalayan mountains in Pakistan. The crystal salt is pure, additive-free, and varies naturally in color from white to reddish-brown.

When your sauna salt runs out, you can buy refill discs from Arctic Pure.

ILMARI soapstone base – Finnish quality

The sauna salt base is crafted in North Karelia, Finland, from genuine Finnish soapstone. The stone is food-safe, dense, clean, and naturally durable – an excellent material for hot sauna environments. The soapstone carries an ISO 9001 quality certificate, ensuring high standards in quarrying, processing, and safety.

How to use Sauna Salt – simple and natural

Using sauna salt is easy: remove the salt from the package and place it on the sauna stones before heating the sauna.

🔥 For wood and electric saunas

• Wood-burning stove: you can place the Sauna Salt directly on the stones – without a dish. However, we recommend using it with the soapstone base.
• Electric stove: always use the soapstone base to prevent salt from dripping onto the heating elements. Salt can be corrosive and may damage the structure of the heater if it drips directly onto the elements.

💦 Steam and salt evaporation

Pour a small amount of water (max 1 tbsp) over the Sauna Salt to begin evaporation. If using a container, don’t exceed this amount – too much water may cause the salt to boil over.

Salt starts to evaporate effectively once the sauna reaches over +70 °C. The more humid the steam, the more intense the salt experience. Sauna salt is ideal for standard home saunas. In larger saunas, use two salt blocks – or adjust based on your preference.

🌿 Natural and additive-free alternative

Sauna salt is a pure, natural product – no added substances, making it safe even for sensitive skin and chemical sensitivities.

Want to enhance your experience? Add a few drops of natural essential oils to the surface of the salt.

♻️ Reuse and care

You can leave the Sauna Salt on the stove for the next session or remove it with tongs after sauna use. The salt lasts through multiple sessions – it flakes and evaporates gradually over time.
