Fleur de sel has traditionally been harvested by hand in coastal salt marshes, particularly in France, where salt workers carefully skim the fragile crystals from the water’s surface before they sink. Because only a thin layer forms under the right sun and wind conditions, it has long been considered one of the most delicate and prized forms of sea salt.
That tradition of using simple mineral ingredients with care is part of why fleur de sel fits so naturally into our own bath rituals. Paired with aromatic herbs, flowers and other mineral salts, it helps create a gentle soaking experience that leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.
