In July 2000 Samantha Skyring (CEO) walked 120km over 7 days through the Namib Desert from Hartman’s Valley along the Kunene River to reach the Skeleton Coast. She had several powerful and incredible face to face encounters with Oryx gazella (gemsbok), which became the inspiration for the Oryx Desert Salt brand. Samantha later discovered that the Oryx Gazella can go for lengthy periods of time wit

hout water, but no more than two months without licking salt – the salt vital for its survival in the harsh conditions of the Kalahari Desert. Oryx Desert Salt is harvested from a salt pan within the remote pristine Kalahari Desert. Beneath the pan lies an ancient undergournd brine lake. The salt water is drawn up onto the pan and sun-dried in a process that lives in harmony with the natural rainfall and surrounding environment. Oryx Desert Salt is unrefined, free from any additives and chemicals and still containing all the essential minerals and trace elements that exist naturally in salt, as nature intended, so they can be utilised and absorbed for optimal vitality and health. We believe in giving back to the community, so for every product of Oryx Desert Salt sold, a percentage is donated to the Khomani San and Mier communities of !Xaus Lodge in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Oryx Desert Salt has been named a winner in the Cupboard Essentials category!

The judges described Oryx as “a clean, high-quality salt with excellent ethical credentials and innovative, sustainable packaging.”

This recognition speaks to what we value most:
• Sourced from an ancient, underground salt lake in the Kalahari Desert - unrefined, sun-dried, and naturally rich in essential minerals.
• Harvested and produced with integrity - clean processes, meaningful partnerships, and community upliftment at every step.
• Designed for a lighter footprint - refillable glass grinders with ceramic mechanisms and sustainable packaging that keeps plastic out of landfills and your food.
Every day, people reach for Oryx Desert Salt in their homes and kitchens - and that’s a responsibility we take seriously.

Last year alone, our refill system kept more than 1,224,900 grinders out of landfill ♻️

Being a “cupboard essential” isn’t something we take for granted - it’s something we earn, every single day.

🚨 Public service announcement:
Your salt should not need an ingredient list....

Salt shouldn’t have ingredients.
It is the ingredient.

Ps. dextrose is sugar (yes, table salt has sugar in it!).

Don’t turn your Oryx Desert Salt grinder upside down 😉

But if you do…
Let us know what you see?

Is it the same as .asprey ?

Does your salt make a difference in the world?

It’s probably not something you have ever given much thought to.

Oryx Desert Salt gives a % of sales back to the ‡Khomani San and Mier communities from the Kalahari through our partnership with !Xaus Lodge (pronounced “Kaus” with a clicking sound at the beginning) meaning “heart” in the Nama language.

Like a lot of the most important things in life, we rarely think about salt... until it’s missing.

In food, in our bodies, in life, salt transforms everything it touches.

Don’t underestimate the small things.
They often hold the most power.
