Salt panning
For centuries, the salt pans in the northern Adriatic Sea area long had a significant impact on the economy of the countries and city-states in this area. They were the subject of political disputes and wars as salt was considered a precious raw material and strategic merchandise due to its usefulness, and was important for the preservation of food and the production of gunpowder. In the past, there were a number of smaller and larger salt pans in the Gulf of Trieste and Istria (e.g. in Milje, Koper, Izola, Lucija), however, today only the Sečovlje and Strunjan salt pans remain. They were not only characterized by political and economic interests, but also by the whims of nature which sometimes made salt production impossible for longer periods, however, sometimes it offered an over-abundance.
In the abundance of different kinds of high-quality salts, Piran salt is one of the most prominent as it is cultivated according to the method of more than 700 years ago. The Sečovlje salt pans are the northernmost still functioning salt pans in the Mediterranean area and one of the few salt pans in the world where salt is produced after several centuries-old processes originating from at least the 14th century. Their speciality is that the salt pan workers cultivate petola at the bottom of the crystallization ponds. This is a biosediment which prevents the sea mud merging with the salt and gives the salt numerous microelements and minerals necessary for the human organism. It is cultivated completely through natural crystallization using their bare hands, and the tools and procedures of their ancestors.
Salt panning distinctively shaped the cultural landscape, i.e. areas that are the work of human hands.

At our company, SOLINE Pridelava soli d.o.o., which is nestled in the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, environmental responsibility is ingrained in every aspect of our product development and manufacturing process throughout the year. Our core values are based on a 700-year tradition of coexistence between man and nature. Our location, steeped in history, is an area that for centuries has hand-harvested one of the most delicious, highly valued, and world-renowned table salts in the world: Piran salt. The salt, along with salt-pan mud and brine, serves as the cornerstone of our Lepa Vida beauty product line.
Traditional soap bars have been part of Lepa Vida's natural beauty line since its inception. Soap is one of the oldest active substances used by mankind in cleaning, but too frequent use of traditional soaps can have side effects. Today, modern beauty industry offers syndet soaps, also known as "soapless soaps", enabling us to opt for choices that are more suitable and frendlier for our skin. Syndet soaps, which are also the basis of our Salt Shower Body Bars and Salt-pan Mud Solid Shampoos, have pH values that are kinder to the skin and therefore do not irritate it. They are a gentle yet effective choice, suitable for everyday use.
Shower body bars offer a multitude of benefits for both your skin and the planet. What better way to embrace the essence of the season than by incorporating more environmentally friendly choices into your daily routine? Detergent bars offer a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional liquid shower gels and shampoos:

- Travel-Friendly: Their compact size and solid form make our shower and shampoo bars ideal for travel, eliminating the need for bulky liquid containers and reducing the risk of spills.
