The Difference
Less sodium. More minerals. Same salt the sea has always made.
Industrial table salt is bleached down to 99% sodium chloride. Standard sea salt sits in the middle. Cannes Salt is different by design — and the lab numbers say so.
The Lab
What's actually in our salt.
Most table salt is 99% sodium chloride — purified, bleached, stripped of everything else during industrial refining. Cannes Salt sits at 76 – 80% sodium chloride. The remaining 20 – 24% is what makes the difference.
| Cannes Salt | Table Salt | Standard Sea Salt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 30 – 32% | 38 – 39% | 33 – 36% |
| Magnesium | 8 – 14k ppm | 0 | 1 – 4k ppm |
| Potassium | 6 – 10k ppm | 0 | < 1k ppm |
| Calcium | 1 – 6k ppm | 0 | < 2k ppm |
| Sulfur | 6 – 10k ppm | 0 | < 2k ppm |
| Trace minerals* | 12+ | 0 | 2 – 4 |
| Refined / bleached | No | Yes | Sometimes |
| Anti-caking agents | No | Yes | Sometimes |
