Solar evaporation is the oldest and most energy-efficient method of mineral production.
At the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Compass Minerals draws highly saline waters from the lake’s most remote areas into very shallow solar evaporation ponds. The sun naturally evaporates the water in these ponds over three years, leaving beds of naturally occurring crystallized minerals.
We gather these minerals, cleanse and process them to produce our all-natural products.
