Yes. Salt of the Earth is the brand name of Crystal Spring Consumer Division Ltd. The business launched in 1993 as Crystal Spring, selling the product now called Salt of the Earth Classic. The brand was renamed Salt of the Earth in 2008, while the company name stayed the same. Same family, same Hampshire factory, same deodorant.

Salt of the Earth is a family-owned, independent UK company and a trading brand of Crystal Spring Consumer Division Ltd. Sally Laird bought the business in 2005, and her son Thomas has been Managing Director since 2008. There are no outside investors. You can read the full ownership story on our blog.

Our sprays, roll-ons, sticks and balms are made at our own factory in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, UK. The exception is our crystal deodorants, which are made from potassium alum in China. You can read more about how we make our products on our sustainability page.

“Natural” has no legal definition for cosmetics in the UK, so instead of asking you to take our word for it, we have our products checked. Our sprays, roll-ons, sticks and balms are certified COSMOS NATURAL by the Soil Association, an independent standard that looks at where ingredients come from and how they're processed. Our crystals aren't COSMOS certified. See all our certifications.
