Fine Dorset Sea Salt

Hand-harvested fine Dorset sea salt to cleanse and soften the skin. Lush source this particular sea salt from… you guessed it! Dorset. 

Dorset Sea Salt was founded in 2017 by a man named Jethro using a small £3000 loan from the Prince’s Trust. They are located on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, not far from Lush UK’s manufacturing site in Poole.

Their aim is to fill the void in the local industry by combining traditional and modern production methods. Dorset Sea Salt harvests seawater from Chesil Beach via a pipeline around half a mile out to sea, then brings it back to their production facility to extract the salt. They work closely with leading environmental health and marine organisations to safeguard human and animal health, enable food security and support marine economies.
