Rapan Natural Salt is produced on the basis of ecologically clean, certified deposit of the Ostrovnoye Lake in the Novosibirsk region. The original raw material, brine (or “rapah” in Russian) has a number of microelements diluted in the lake, with practically no harmful bacteria. Natural antiseptic properties of the water and mud represent a natural health enhancing complex.

In autumn, when the temperature of the lake goes down, the surface of the lake becomes smaller, which means that the concentration of salt in the lake rises. Natural crystallisation and sedimentation of naturally clean large salt crystals occurs. Immediately, Rapan salt is harvested, tested for safety and packaged. Because of the non-thermal method of crystallisation, all the natural ingredients are preserved in the resulting product.

The mineral content of the Ostrovnoye lake is similar to the Dead Sea salt. It contains such chemical elements and substances as Na, K, Mg, Ca, N, carbonate, hydrocarbonate, sulphate, chloride, bromide, phenols, microelements (P, As, Zn, Sn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ag), silica acid, vitamins, hormones, biostimulators, amino acids, fatty acids, polysaccharides, etc.).
