Celtic Sea Salt Shortage At Cost
Published: Thu, 10/26/23
A few months ago I got an order from a customer on our website for about 50 bags of Celtic Sea Salt, which completely wiped us out.
I didn’t think much of it. I called the company to place another order, and they told me that there was a 50-60 day wait on shipping my order out.
The Sea Salt finally arrived and I planned to offer it to you on our 'At-Cost' specials. As I was preparing the promotion, I temporarily put the price at $18.75 a pound so nobody would buy it. As I was writing the promotion, one person bought every last bag in one order at that outlandish $18.75 price. I couldn't believe my eyes.
This is when I realized that the Celtic Sea Salt Company can’t keep up with the demand. It’s probably because I sent a Newsletter out sharing how it is the only Sea Salt available that is void of Microplastics. As many of you know, I like to believe that I am so cool, and that I am responsible for all things that happen like this lol.
Anyway, I actually freaked out, because shortly after that person wiped us out of stock, my family ran out of our Celtic Sea Salt stash soon after. I didn’t know what to do. I personally need sea salt, and I don’t want my family stuffing themselves with thousands of Microplastic units per every 1 pound of salt that they consume.
As a last resort, I reluctantly went onto Amazon to get some for me and my family. However, the least expensive option was seven times the price. I was not willing to pay that. In fact, they are still having a shortage, and the lowest price that you can get it for on Amazon right now, is around $60 for 16oz.
When I saw this Amazon price, I decided to take advantage of the situation since I have an account, and I ordered 2000 bags lol. They are finally arriving today, and I have them on sale right now 'At-Cost' for you guys for only $12.75 each until the end of the month. On our website, they area actually $18.75 each. However, if you use the coupon Celtic12, you get $6 off of every bag that you order. You can get as many as you want.
Whatever is left over, I am going to try to sell it off for crazy amounts. I just want to make sure that you guys are all taken care of first before I sold it to the wolves. Please keep in mind that a wolf may be lurking on my website and wipe us out in an instant. I made the celtic12 discount just so it is more unlikely that someone wipes us out.
Anyway, if you remember last time, I came across this study at the link here, where they tested for Microplastics in 39 different sea salt brands. 90% of the Sea Salt brands tested, had crazy amounts of these Nano-Microplastic particles within them.
I know that many of you keep up on this type of thing, but many of us just buy regular Sea Salt from Walmart thinking it’s ok, because it’s Sea Salt, which is way better than Table Salt, as Table Salt is known to be horrendous for the human body.
The problem with Microplastics, is that it gets into our system and it creates inflammation and other problems, because they can act as endocrine disruptors. Microplastics take about 500 years or so to break down, and we want to limit our exposure to them.
I understand that Microplastics are everywhere, including in the air that we breathe. However, if I have the ability to reduce the amount of Microplastics that I consume, I am going to do it. For example, in this study, the MP’s for one brand of Sea Salt was 13,629 MP’s in 1 KG of salt. That is absolutely insane. The next highest one was almost 1700 MP’s in 1KG, then 718, 402, 366, 354, and so on. A good portion of these brands have well over 100 MP’s in 1KG of Sea Salt.
I do not recommend consuming the typical sea salt from the Grocery store, unless they have this Celtic Sea Salt available. Regular Sea Salt can come from polluted areas of the ocean, and chances are it will have a lot of these Microplastics within it.
In this study, only three brands of investigated salts, Taiwan (refined sea salt), China mainland (refined rock salt), and France (unrefined sea salt produced by solar evaporation), did not contain any microplastic particles in both replicate samples. All other salt samples contained microplastic particles.
As many of you probably know, Cetic Sea Salt comes from France, and I am pretty certain that it was the Celtic Sea Salt that didn’t contain any microplastics in the study. From being in this industry for so long, I know the owner at the Celtic Sea Salt company, who I have met at various trade shows on the circuit now and again. So, I contacted her.
Keep in mind that they are a very natural and conscious company. They have 8 different kinds of sea and cave salts from all around the world that they sell. Only two of them contain zero Microplastics. I just wanted their Celtic Sea Salt from France, and it just so happens that their fine ground Celtic Sea Salt was one of the two that tested to have zero Microplastics, just like the study conveyed. The coarse one only had a number of 6 in a KG, which is nothing compared to all these other Sea Salts in this study that were in the hundreds and thousands. This small number of 6 MP’s, may have even been from the air, that number is so low.
Now you can see why I was in a dangerous situation. I need my Celtic Sea Salt, because I need sodium.
So what we are offering to you today is the Fine Ground Celtic Sea salt, which has zero Microplastics. It has become very difficult to find this anywhere, especially at this price. I am sure Amazon and other websites gets it from time to time just like we did, but it just sells out immediately.
I am sure that at some point they will catch up with demand from the ground-breaking Newsletter I sent out at the beginning of their crisis lol. In the meantime, I’ve got 2000 bags for you guys at only $12.75 each when you use the celtic12 discount.
Enjoy.
