Why Does Sea Salt Sometimes Feel Damp?
Wexford Sea Salt is completely natural and unrefined, meaning it retains essential trace minerals—especially magnesium, which plays a big role in how salt behaves in your kitchen.
Unlike processed table salt, which has anti-caking agents added, natural sea salt contains magnesium chloride. Magnesium is hygroscopic, meaning it naturally attracts moisture from the air. This can cause the salt in your jar to feel slightly damp or clump together over time—especially in humid environments.
This is a sign of quality, not a flaw. It’s proof that your salt hasn’t been tampered with or stripped of its natural goodness.
