Vera Salt Flake Spring Salt - Microplastic Free
Summary
Vera Salt's Flake Spring Salt is a hand-harvested artisanal flake salt sourced from an ancient saline spring in the foothills of Spain — not the open ocean. Third-party tested for microplastics and heavy metals (Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury), a level of testing transparency virtually unheard of in the salt category. Packaged 100% plastic-free in a glass jar inside a paperboard box, so the salt never contacts plastic from harvest to table. Naturally mineral-rich (K 294ppm, Mg 382ppm, Ca 1,034ppm) with no anti-caking agents, preservatives, or processing additives. The strongest microplastic-conscious salt option we've seen.

Key ingredients 6
Third-Party Tested Microplastic-FreeVery Good
Independently tested and verified microplastic-free — virtually unheard of in the artisan salt category. Inland spring sourcing avoids ocean microplastic exposure entirely.

Tested for Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury — a transparency level rare in the largely unregulated artisan salt market.

Glass jar inside a paperboard outer box — the salt never contacts plastic from harvest through storage, eliminating packaging-derived microplastic migration.

Harvested from a pristine saline spring in Spain rather than open ocean. Inland spring sources are not exposed to oceanic microplastic pollution.
