You wouldn’t sprinkle plastic on your food – so why take the risk by choosing the wrong salt grinder? Many grinders use plastic mechanisms that wear down over time, potentially breaking or shedding microplastics into your food.
At Oryx Desert Salt, we take a different approach. We’ve chosen long-lasting value over throw-away convenience which is why our grinders are designed with high-quality ceramic mechanisms – not plastic – ensuring a pure and consistent grind, free from contamination.
Why ceramic, not plastic?
✔ Wear-resistant & durable: Plastic degrades over time and you’ll run the risk of grinding plastic onto your food. Ceramic endures and offers a continuously clean and smooth grind, every time.
✔ Long-lasting, convenient & refillable: Our ceramic grinders are designed to be refilled using our refill boxes up to 20+ times thereby reducing waste. It’s actually so much more convenient to simply refill your grinder than the throw-away-buy-a-new-grinder mindset that keeps adding to our landfill.
✔ Cost-effective, saving you money: Because our grinder mechanisms are long-lasting, by using our refill boxes, you’ll use the grinder multiple times at a much lower cost per use than if you were to buy a new grinder every time you run out – more value, less waste (in fact, Faithful to Nature sells 3kg buckets which is a big saver).
Our plastic-free mission
We’re on a mission to reduce plastic as much as possible, reflected in our new 100% biodegradable packaging. Our mini Travel Salt and Pepper are now available in attractive mini paper-tubes. The Oryx Desert BBQ Salt comes in a sleek, red paper-tube with a revolving shaker top. Similarly, the Oryx Desert Fine Salt shaker finds its place on the shelf in a stylish white paper-tube, also with a revolving shaker. We’re encouraging shoppers to join us in taking action to stop contributing to plastic waste.
A grinder that saves waste
In 2024 alone, Oryx Desert Salt customers saved nearly 900 000 grinders and grinder heads from landfill by choosing to #RefillNotLandfill. That’s nearly a million fewer waste items thrown away in just one year.
Instead of replacing your grinder every time it runs out, just refill it with ourSalt, Black Pepper & Chilli Salt refill boxes.
Save and stop buying our grinders. You only need one.
Oryx Desert Salt is a well-established South African brand, known for producing natural, pollution-free salt sourced from the pristine Kalahari Desert. Deep within the desert, lies a remote saltpan where crystal salt is harvested from underground brine aquifers situated amongst ancient Dwyka rock formations tested to be 280-300 million years old, and then sun-dried under the hot Kalahari sun. The result is a 100% pure, naturally organic, nutritious salt.
Oryx Desert Salt is sustainable, coming from an ever-renewable and self-replenishing source in the Kalahari. Refillable, stylish glass bottles with long-lasting ceramic grinder heads (so no plastic particles are ground into food!) encourage customers to refill their grinders over and over by buying value-for-money refill boxes.
Spot the iconic Oryx horns on restaurant tables and in retail stores nationwide. South African customers can find Oryx Desert Salt in premium Woolworths stores, Cape Union Mart, Pick ‘n Pay, Food Lovers Market, Dischem and Spar, online at Faithful to Nature and Yuppiechef as well as in most health shops and deli’s countrywide.
