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 without 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.

This quote says it all!

It’s why we do what we do... choosing packaging that’s refillable, partnering with brands and growers who share regenerative values and sourcing with care from one of the most pristine regions on Earth.

Because we’re not just here for the now,
we’re here to leave something better behind.

We are working towards a better future, grain by grain, choice by choice.

Most salt has a story you’d rather not hear… microplastics, pollution, heavy processing.

Oryx Desert Salt’s story begins deep in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa, where underground rivers feed an ancient salt lake, renewed by the rain.

No chemicals. No microplastic. No need to compromise.

Just pure, mineral-rich salt, sustainably harvested and sun-dried under the African sky over a single lunar cycle 🌓

Try it, you’ll be able to taste and feel the difference.

Can Instagram help us close the gap between Oryx Desert Salt and Qatar Airways? ✈️

Our founder and CEO, Samantha Skyring, recently shared this on LinkedIn after flying with Qatar Airways and noticing just how much the Oryx is woven into their identity.

Their logo. The screens. The menus. The headrests.

Oryx everywhere… except on the food 👀

We’d love to change that!

So we’re putting it out to our community:

Do you know someone at Qatar Airways? Particularly in inflight catering, food & beverage, procurement or partnerships?

Or perhaps you know someone who knows someone.

Tag them below, share this post with them, or send us a DM.

Let’s see how few degrees of separation there really are between Oryx Desert Salt and Qatar Airways. 🤞✈️

When we sweat, we lose both water and sodium, which can lead to a decrease in blood volume and an increase in blood sodium concentration.

This can trigger the body’s thirst response and cause us to drink more water.

But if we only drink water without replenishing sodium, we can dilute the sodium concentration in our blood and cells, leading to further dehydration or a condition - most prevalent in athletes who train intensely - called hyponatremia (symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, and even can result in a coma).

So here’s our simple hydration hack: a pinch of Oryx Desert Salt in your water or for the full electrolyte balance, enjoy delicious REVIVE | Daily Electrolytes electrolytes powered by Oryx Desert Salt!
