Solay Wellness

Our Passion

Inspired by the simple beauty of nature, we create natural products that are beautifully simple. Products made with passion and purpose. I'm passionate about our power to change the world “one act at a time.” Because the small act of choosing products we use every day can make a big difference. Our artisan Solay Salt crystal lamps, organic beauty, healthful gourmet and green home aids are holistic lifestyle essentials that work synergistically to promote vibrant health. But we’re just as passionate about doing good as we are about looking and feeling good. So Solay products also promote vibrant communities and a healthier environment. And that's something we can all feel passionate about.

Our Products

At the core of our products is our pure Himalayan salt… and our core values. Our Himalayan salt, harvested from ancient, pollution-free seabeds, is rich in minerals and considered by many to be the purest salt on earth. Our artisan partners overseas hand-sculpt magnificent salt crystals to create exquisite lamps that are works of art and natural ionizers. We blend our salt with all natural and organic ingredients into exclusive formulas that work. We create only items we use ourselves. Our unique “living products” are freshly handcrafted in small batches, energetically enhanced, vegan, natural and organic, fair trade and eco-friendly. Our manufacturing is sustainable from formulation to our recyclable and reusable packaging. And the products we carry from associate manufacturers are chosen because they meet our standards for quality, service, and ecological and social conscience.

Our Story

Solay Wellness is about empowerment. Organic minerals and natural salt have empowered people through the ages to feel and look their best. Harnessing the health benefits of Himalayan salt—from breathing better to creating my own personal care products—empowered me to create wellness in my own life. Ever since, I’ve dedicated myself to empowering others. I launched Solay Wellness in 2004, importing only the highest quality salt from sustainable sources to building our exclusive health and wellness product lines. But my greatest reward is the community that is Solay Wellness; a diverse network of artisans, experts, crafters and practitioners that help our customers’ live better lives while helping to build a better world.

Our Fair Trade

Fair Trade ensures that producers receive fair market prices, are free from labor abuses and use sustainable growing and production methods. In a world where corporate profits rule these crafters and farmers are often exploited, creating a cycle of poverty and environmental degradation. Fair Trade can break that cycle, creating better lives, stronger communities and a healthier environment. We are dedicated to Fair Trade, and use suppliers dedicated to Fair Trade and sustainability. We partner with our artisans’ communities, promoting social justice, small businesses and local non-profit organizations.

Our Artisans

Our Salt crystal comes from family-owned companies committed to Fair Trade and sustainable mine practices. The ladies who help formulate our products are moms and wives; customers who sought us out for our salt, and were making personal care products for themselves and their families. We source our botanicals from other small crafters committed to organic.  All share Solay’s passion and purpose: to provide the best, organic products crafted with loving intention for the highest good.

Our “Giving Back”

I founded Solay Wellness to make a difference. I’m both humbled and emboldened by our success…and proud to continue taking that commitment to new levels. We support social justice, humanitarian and environmental organizations and partner with non-profits to offer our products for their fundraising efforts.

Our Quality Pledge and Commitment to You

Our first priority is to delight you. We strive to give you quick, easy, stress-free shopping as well as the highest quality products. We are members of The Better Business Bureau, PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals), Business Friends and Campaignforsafecosmetics.  Quality is crucial when purchasing salt products, as not all salt crystals are of the same quality. For instance, most salt lamps on the market consist of substandard crystal salts. Lighter in color than ours, these appear “washed out” and lack the prized, intense hues of dark red and flaming orange. The same is true of our bath and edible salts. Deeper, richer colors, found only in top quality salts, provide more essential minerals and healthy negative ions so important for greater energy and health. Our obsession with quality extends to each and every ingredient in our gourmet, animal companion, personal care products and other lines we are developing.
