Redmond Real Salt and why I use it

//  by 

PinYummly

I’ve used the Redmond Salt for a couple of years now, and so I’m really excited to be able to work with them here at NFW. Their salt graces my cabinets more than any other and it’s definitely the unprocessed salt that Todd prefers.

I love that it hasn’t been stripped of its minerals, instead leaving them for us. And our bodies need all the minerals they can get as our food supply seems to have less and less of them as the years go by.

And salt is essential for our health. (surprised? yea, I was too when I first heard about it!) This short video from Real Salt is really interesting – because while I’ve read books on salt, I never had a visual of how salt can affect our bodies.

Amazing huh?

I was also surprised at how many types of salt and seasonings they offer – and here I thought it was just salt that they sold. but they have a seasoning salt that I took out of the package as soon as I’d received it to use for dinner that night.

Todd was pleased.

Especially since I refused to buy his favorite seasoning salt a few years back.

They also sell a garlic salt and an onion salt, both of which will be used regularly in our house.

My love for the Redmond products has grown recently though. See those other items they sent me? Not salt at all!

They also have the Redmond Clay line which uses bentonite clay.

Now, I haven’t done a tons of research on this yet, but I’m slowly learning more and hearing more about it.

Bentonite Clay is good for topical preparations for skin ailments as well as internal consumption for many digestive issues. I like the facemask, and while I’m hoping I don’t have a reason to use the first aid tube, I know I’ll be armed for the summer.

And the Earthpaste Toothpaste has become the only natural toothpaste I’ll buy.

Even Todd, who has scoffed at every other tube I’ve brought home or batch that I’ve tried to make myself, claims that this cleans his teeth better than conventional toothpaste.

{and the heavens open and the angels sing}

Finally! I have a toothpaste that’s free of chemicals and toxins that my entire family can use, even the little ones.

    That is truely amazing, and looks amazing. It is definately something i am interested in… HUMM.. Have a great weekend..

  5. Alexas

    I’d love to try the Earth Paste…..I’ve been so desperate to switch from our standby Crest, but my hubby is resistant…..maybe this would encourage him!

  12. Starlit Meredith

    I would really like to try the kosher salt. I prepare my meats the kosher way and it would be nice to know that they salt I am using is a good quality, healthy salt.

  26. Heather O.

    Great giveaway! I’ve recently started using their Kosher salt and we LOVE IT!! I would love a chance to try their other products as well.

  32. Molly Rose

    Wow! This video had me going ‘COOOOOOL!’ long before it was actually over. I probably should have known that saltwater conducts electricity…but having a visual really helped.

  34. Danielle C.

    OOO i sooo want to win this. I have been looking for a natural toothpaste that CLEANS the teeth and doesn’t just strip the good stuff off too.

  35. Molly Rose

    I haven’t gotten a chance to do much with clay (though bentonite seems to be a good place to start), but I’d love to try using some of their clay powder. There’s so much that can be done with it (toothpaste, poultices, masks, etc) that it’s just really fascinating.

  39. Rachel Tilly

    Wow! What an amazing giveaway! I love salt that still has the minerals in it–I rarely use any other kind any more!

  40. Phoenix

    Wow, this stuff sounds neat!! I am always trying to find healthy things! My husband and I are trying to get out of the processed foods/toxic chemicals in everything use now that we are learning about what it does, so we are looking for things like this to help further our health, especially now that I am pregnant with our first <3

  41. Rachel Tilly

    Ok…there are several items on their website that I want to try: Earthpaste, the organic onion salt, the organic garlic salt,…basically everything they have to offer! What a great website! Even if I don’t win (although I would LOVE to win and hope I do!) I may just have to order some of their products!

  44. Lenetta

    I plan to try the clay on mosquito bites, so i’m extra excited to see the coupon on the outside chance i don’t win 🙂

  45. rachel v.

    i would love to win this! We already use the real salt, wasn’t aware of ALL the other products! WOW!

  51. rachel v.

    I would like to try their seasoning salt or the toothpaste. But i also like the idea of the variety packs good way to try a few things at once.

  55. Terrie N.

    I think I would like to try the clay powder, to see if it may help the eczema on my hands.

  60. Amanda H

    Oh I’d love to win this if only to try the toothpaste! I have a terrible time with ‘natural’ toothpastes! I would love to find a winner!

  62. Sarah Romain

    I originally came here based on the recommendation from a friend that I look at your sugar detox……and just never left 🙂 Love this site!

  65. Sarah

    I would have to say, that I would like to try the Earthpaste. I’m trying to find an alternative to the regular stuff, and this one sounds good.

  72. Shirley @ gfe

    I’d love to try their seasoned salt and their toothpaste! The pouch of coarse salt and their salt mill would be great for fresh grinding, too.

    Shirley

  76. Elizabeth S.

    I’d like to try the toothpaste, because I am always on the hunt for a natural, safe, good tasting alternative to commercial brands.

  82. Ann

    This looks amazing! I am just starting to dabble in “natural products” other than food, so this might be a good start. Thanks!!

  84. Rachel

    I love this giveaway! I’d love to try the facial mud, my husband has been battling some intense acne recently and we’ve been trying everything. Also, someone mentioned the clay might be good for eczema–it would be incredible if it did, my husband also has eczema from his head to his toes!

    I subscribe via RSS.

  88. Sarah B

    Would love to try any Redmond Real Salt product – always trying toward more natural products but am easing in rather than jumping so it sticks. Giveaways definitely help in this area!

  89. Melody

    I would love to try the Earthpaste! We just started making our own toothpaste, but I may have to try this because it’s so convenient.

  91. Nikki

    What a great prize pack! Was unfamiliar with Redmond, but looks like they have a lot of great products.

  92. Nikki

    After perusing their website, I’d most like to try their wintergreen toothpaste…in fact, I went ahead and ordered some!

  102. mary tr

    we use there salt, but would love to try more. especially there toothpaste as we try to remineralize my daughters teeth

  105. Melissa

    I checked out Redmond’s website. I’d like to try the Redmond Clay Powder because I’ve been wanting to try bentonite clay on my face!

  125. Kathryn

    I looked at the Redmond website and that First Aid Clay looks very interesting! I’d love to have it incase we get any bruises, stings, cuts, etc.

  129. Nicole w.

    My family uses their salt but we would want to try the clay or toothpaste. I’ve heard many good things about it 🙂

  130. Marie

    I’d really like to try their personal care products, too, like the toothpaste and facial mud.

  136. Jennifer

    I have tried several other natural toothpastes and I would love to try this one. Also, I just recently switched to using celtic sea salt. I wonder how it compares to the this one featured. Thanks so much.

  137. Tammy

    I really want to try the Earthpaste, since it’s fluoride free and natural. Would be great for the kids!

  138. Amanda

    I love the salt – but haven’t been able to convince my hubby to spend the money on the clay items. What a great give away

  141. Amy DiGiacomo

    I have been looking for a specific toothpaste and Earthpaste would be perfect for me!

  142. Heather Spooner

    Thanks so much for this giveaway! I also love using salt that still contains minerals. Great product.

  146. Heather Spooner

    I would like to try Redmond’s Earthpaste toothpaste. Thanks!
    heatherspooner1981 at gmail dot com

  147. MacKenzie

    I’ve heard great things about their toothpaste. I recently switched to what I thought was a good brand only to discover it had glycerin so I set off searching again. I’m really excited that I can use a coupon to order it now!

  148. WAK

    We already have a chemical-free, natural home. This company’s products would be a welcome addition. Glad to know about them and hope we win a set!

  149. Heather Spooner

    I subscribe to Naturally Knocked Up thru email. Thanks!
    heatherspooner1981 at gmail dot com

  150. Amy DiGiacomo

    Looking around on the website, I would love to try the seasoned salt.
    No MSG!! Woo hoo!!

  151. MacKenzie

    Oh, I guess I messed up and did the additional comment question as my first comment but in addition to the toothpaste, I’d like to try the season salt. I have to admit that I still have the an old yucky brand in my pantry because all of my mom’s classic recipes use it and I didn’t think I’d be able to find a replacement.

  159. Breanna Joy

    I know a woman who gained color back in her grey hair from taking bentonite. This whole bundle of products is great!

  160. Lori

    I would like to try out all of their products, but if I had to choose one, I would say the Earthpaste Amazingly Natural Toothpaste because I have never really use anything besides Crest and would like to see how they compare.

  163. Feni

    Been wanting to try their toothpaste and was hoping for a free shipping day! This would be even better!

  166. Jennifer Soares

    I’ve been hearing a lot about Real Salt and their products lately and would love to try them! The toothpaste sounds amazing! This would be a great package to win.

  167. Sarah H

    I so want to try their earthpaste… I haven’t found a toothpaste I am satisfied with yet and this may be the one!

  170. Jenny

    I’d like to try the Facial Mud, Baby Powder, and of course the salt! I’m up for trying the toothpaste too, if I win. I make a natural toothpaste with clay that I like already though:)

    Oh, and not sure if this should be separate or not, but I follow your blog and receive email updates:)

  174. Jamie Winger

    All of these products look wonderful. We’ve been using Himalayan pink salt that we got as a gift. We would love to try Real Salt.

  175. Elissa

    I really appreciated the video you posted. There’s my something new I learned today! 🙂

  176. Kyla

    I want to try the toothpaste because i”m looking for a more natural approach to taking care of my teeth!

  177. Elissa

    I would love to try their toothpaste. My hubby is also a little leery of my “crunchy” side, so it’s nice to know your hubs is okay with at least the toothpaste.

  178. Abby

    I would like to try the toothpaste. For a couple of years I used a natural clay toothpaste but it just did not work well despite our healthy diet. Right now I’m using a brand that works well but contains a foaming agent that I would rather not have in my toothpaste.

  182. Jennifer Middleton

    I love Redmond Salt! I recently bought 2 pocket shakers for a trip and they sent me 2 free 2 oz. shakers! That’s great service!

  189. Jaime

    I’ve been wanting to try the Earth Paste since Stephanie at Keeper of the Home shared about it!

  201. iwona

    Want to try the peppermint earthpaste. Still looking for natural toothpaste that would work for me.

  203. Laura

    I would like to try the First Aid clay as a natural alternative to all those store-bought chemical creams.

  205. Christa

    I’d love to try the Redmond bath salt plus. I have terribly dry skin – and I feel like this is a product that could really help!

  208. Katie

    I love Redmond Real Salt, too! It is better tasting and so much cheaper than Celtic, Himilayan or any other overpriced health-food store salt. I wish more merchants would carry even more of their products, not just the health-food stores and not just Real Salt. Hope I win this package so I can try all the other stuff. 🙂 Glad to find this blog… seems like we might be birds of a feather.

  209. Amanda C.

    I would love to try the toothpaste. We are slowly trying to go more natural and toothpaste that is safe for the whole family would be great!

  210. Amanda C.

    This would be great to win. I have been reading about this company and would love to try some of the products.

  211. Priscilla W

    I want to try the Earthpaste, I’d love to see it improve my areas of receding gums. Wishing I had the 1st aid cream, my child got her 1st bee sting today.

  213. Alaina

    I am a subscriber. I think I am anonymous because I had some trouble with my google feeds, but I do subscribe to NKU.

  214. Alaina

    I really want to try the Earthpaste. I’ve been hearing lots of good things about it and I haven’t found a storebought or homemade toothpaste that I am completely happy with.

  218. Cammie

    I just started hearing about this company, and would love to try their products. Thanks for the giveaway!

  221. Grace

    I want to try Earthpaste Amazingly Natural Toothpaste. I’ve been looking for a better toothpaste for years! 🙂

  227. Sharon

    I love Real Salt and had no idea they had all these other great products. Would love to win! Thanks for this giveaway! : )

  228. Dori

    OOOOH now that we have easily accessible raw milk I’m looking forward to some hopeful remineralization of some teeth in this house! Very interested in trying the products!

  233. Brooke G

    I would really like to try the seasoning salt. DH misses that, since I won’t buy the seasoning salt at the store anymore!

  234. Brooke G

    I was so glad to find the Earthpaste. DH hasn’t liked any of the natural toothpastes I have gotten him or my homemade. This is that he likes, and I am so glad it doesn’t have any glycerine!

  239. Priscilla W

    I’m love to win this giveaway and try out these products, we already use Redmond Real Salt & really like it. (I did this entry a little backwards, I already entered my additional entry mentioning which product I’m like to try. This comment should be for my original/first entry 🙂

  243. Rachelle

    I found Real Salt while visiting Utah in 2006 and have been using it ever since. I’ve gotten other family members hooked, too! I didn’t know about all of the other products and would really like to try their Earthpaste and Redmond Clay.

  246. Jen Emmons

    I have also been using their salt for about a year or so and love it. NIce to put something else healthy into my body that I didn’t even realize was out there!

  247. Lisa

    I would love to win!! Also, I am already subscribed to email and following on blogger. I went to their site and am interested in their earthpaste toothpaste. Thanks!

  248. Shelly

    I am still new to this process and am learning so much from your posts – thanks for sharing!!!

  249. Hannah

    This would be an awesome prize to win!! I haven’t been able to find Redmond products at any local stores!!

  250. KC

    I love Redmond’s Real Salt. I use it and recommend it to people. I am excited to check out their other products!

  251. Lisa

    I have used Remond sea salt in the past and it is one of the best. You are right about stores not carrying all Remond products – I was not aware that they offered such variety of products. If all of their products are the quality of their sea salt, I’m sure they are best sellers. I would love to try their Earthpaste toothpaste. Thank you for posting this article and free offer.

  252. Honey B.

    I want to try the toothpaste! We’ve been on the hunt for a good toothpaste and striking out – my husband is also a hard sell on these products… 🙂

  259. Hannah

    I would really like to try their toothpaste out because you recommended it in your post about making homemade tooth paste.

  261. Jessica C

    I would like to try their different salts after having recently learned that salt is good for you. We just buy Kosher salt for now.

  263. Gloria

    I have never tried Redmond products, but I would love to! Thanks for introducing me to them.

  265. Deni Breitenbach

    I used Redmond Salt for years but was unaware that they made other products! This is exciting news!

  267. Nicole

    Being a holistic health coach and whole foods foodie, I love discovering new good for you products! I’ve never heard of the company before. I would love to win this and share all the wonderful goodies with my clients, friends and family 🙂

  268. Deni Breitenbach

    I am planning to purchase and try the natural toothpaste and bath salts. I am looking forward to these items!

  272. Leslie Vornholt

    Love these products. I have used the RealSalt for years now and just recently ordered bath salts, clay, facial mud and earthpaste. Phenomenal products every one. Pure, simple and good for you. My grandchildren got a kick out of brushing teeth with “mud” this past week while visiting. It is a real treat to have “Spa Night” with products that I know are beneficial to my health. I highly recommend them!

  273. Kristen Taylor

    Love Redmond Salt, and it’s even a local company for me!! I really want to try the toothpaste. Thanks!!

  275. nikki mellerke

    This sounds like an awesome company and I’m excited to check out their website. We have just done an overhaul on our lives for our small children’s sake and have moved to healthy eating exercise and natural medicinal methods rather than the conventional drug ladder ones. I’m always out to learn more and am so excited that I found your site!!! Thanks for all the great info

  276. Monique M.

    I heard about that company when I was researching which kind of salt to buy. I really liked how they were ethical enough say good tings about their competitors when comparing different salts. It’s really decent of them!

  277. Monique M.

    I’d really like to try their salt. I mean the face mask and bath salts sound great too, but it’s cooking salt that I consume everyday and that will have a bigger impact on my body.

  278. Linda S

    I’ve never even heard of Redmond Salt before, so thanks for telling us about it. I would love to try the toothpaste (Wintergreen – yum) as well as their salts. Thanks for this great giveaway. 🙂

  279. Amy

    I have used Redmind Real Salt for years now! Their blog is super informative about the benefits of using natural sources of salt. I even put it in my water before bed to help me sleep more soundly!

  280. Amy

    I would love to try the toothpaste. I am always a little hesitant about trying natural pastes, but this one seems promising!

  283. Janea

    I use the Real Salt already and love it. Would like to check out there toothpaste. I haven’t found a natural toothpaste yet that my husband will use.

  284. Janea

    Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be exposed to more of the Redmond products. I had no idea about some of the things they have.

  288. Becky Webb

    I’m really interested in the Earthpaste. I’ve tried making my own, I’ve tried other natural toothpastes and some just don’t seem to get my teeth clean.

  292. Johna

    I would love to try the tooth paste. My family has not been pleased with the other natural tooth pastes I have tried in the past. Would love to see how well it works and tastes.

  293. Jessica

    I’ve used their salt for years too but had no idea they carried other products. Thanks for this! I’m going to go check out their website now.

  294. Jessica

    I use bentonite clay already for face masks but it’s fun that they carry it and other spa type products. I would like to try their garlic and onion salts. I never use those in cooking anymore because of all the junk in them. Thanks again!

  295. Sarah

    I have never tried Redmond products, but I would love to! Thanks for introducing me to them!

  299. Krissy

    The products look extremely interesting. Since finding out I’m gluten intolerant I’ve been trying to find healthier (and gluten-free) products. Would love to try!

  302. Katherine

    I love the Real Salt already, but I would love to try the Earthpaste, it sounds great!

  303. Melissa

    I love using Redmond’s real salt, but I hadn’t even heard of some of their other products, and they all sound great too!

  311. Heather

    I have used the Real Salt for some time now, (ordered in bulk through a local coop) and didn’t even know Redmond had additional products! I would like to try the Earth Paste and the Bath Salts.

    Thanks!

    Heather

  313. Heather

    And here is my “official” post. Thanks for all the additional information on this company. Tons of information on their website. I am headed back there to read some more! 🙂

  319. Erica

    I’d love to try the Earthpaste toothpaste. Hearing that your husband thinks it works better than the traditional is great encouragement!

  326. Nicole Handfield

    I’ve checked out their offerings and it all looks great! I’m most looking forward to trying the EarthPaste!!!

  329. beckyz

    Thank you for highlighting all of the Redmond’s products. I have used their Real Salt for several years, recommended it to many people and I will try some of their other products.

  330. beckyz

    I would like to try the Redmond Clay Facial Mud. This Facial Mud wuld help to clarify my skin, remove excess oil, shrink pores, draw out toxins, tone, and deep clean my skin. It sounds wonderfully refreshing!

  334. Lynn

    I have been hearing about the toothpaste on several blogs lately and it sounds like a must try!

  337. David Cantu jr

    I am 47 years old. My Dr. ‘s and my family took my salt away from me. Since I love cooking and do so every day for my daughter and I use salt for everything. Praise God for Real Salt you have helped me get co tell of my blood preassure and continue enjoying good food. A little of this product goes a long way so it is also cheaper than regular salt!!!

  339. Emily P

    I’ve checked out their webpage and am really interested to try their toothpaste (with bentonite clay), especially for my 2 year old.

  345. maria

    I’m interested in trying their Earthpaste! I like the idea of a store-bought toothpaste, and have been buying Tom’s of Maine, but I’d like the chance to try something without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, and with the price of Earthpaste, it would be great to try it and see whether we like it before investing in it! We already use Real Salt, which we discovered recently, after moving to Salt Lake City, Utah (it’s local)!

  347. Stacy

    I’d love to win this! We buy pink Himalayan salt for cooking with, but I’d love to try these too.

  348. John Billiris

    What a great company. No need to cut back on salt if you’re using the REAL stuff. (get it? LOL)

  357. kimberly

    This giveaway looks awesome. I’m going to order some real salt as soon as our current salt runs out.

  361. Tammy

    I really, really want to try the toothpaste! I was using a glycerin-based toothpaste for about half a year until I noticed my teeth turning brown. *gasp* I want something natural that I can use and have it actually clean my teeth!

  362. Pam Demas

    I have been using their salt for about 5 years and love it. I even found it by the pound in a small health food store in Michigan. I did not know about their other products. I will gooogle them and try some of their other products. I am glad to hear about them.Thanks for the info.

  363. Pam Demas

    I already subscribe too and really enjoy my emails from you. Thanks for helping a not so young woman be healthier.

  369. Deanna

    I’d love to win this prize package – so many good things in it – it’s hard to spend money to try things but to win them and find out what you like and don’t like that’s perfect.

  371. Deanna

    I want to try the toothpaste! I’m not completely happy with what (natural) product I currently use. I also LOVE their salt.
