Happy World Ocean Day, Salt of the Earth family! 🌊 Today, we join millions around the globe in celebrating and raising awareness about the importance of our oceans.
Why World Ocean Day Matters
World Ocean Day is celebrated every year on June 8th, it's a day to highlight how important the oceans are in our daily lives. Did you know that oceans cover more than 70% of our planet? They produce at least half of the Earth's oxygen and absorb about 30% of the carbon dioxide that we produce!
Oceans are home to a stunning variety of wildlife and are vital for our global ecosystems. But they are under threat from pollution, overfishing, and climate change. That's why World Ocean Day is so important—it reminds us to take care of our oceans.
Our Commitment to Ocean Conservation
At Salt of the Earth, we believe in making choices that benefit the environment. Here’s how we contribute to ocean conservation:
- Plastic Reduction: Our refillable deodorants help cut down on single-use plastics. By choosing our refillable sprays, roll-ons, and sticks, you're not just saving money—you’re also preventing plastic waste from entering our oceans.
- Sustainable Ingredients: We use natural, vegan-friendly ingredients certified by COSMOS Natural. This ensures our products are free from harmful chemicals that can pollute water sources and oceans.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our commitment to sustainable packaging means we strive to use recyclable and biodegradable materials wherever possible. This reduces the risk of plastic ending up in marine environments.
How You Can Help Protect Our Oceans
Protecting our oceans takes all of us working together. Here are some simple yet impactful ways you can make a difference:

Simple Steps, Big Impact
Even small actions can lead to big changes. Here are more tips for protecting our oceans:
- Recycle Properly: Make sure you sort your recyclables correctly. Rinse out containers to prevent contamination.
- Use Eco-Friendly Products: Choose products made from sustainable materials. Look for those that use minimal packaging.
