Know before you buy
No. The lemongrass and rosemary essential oils are used for their natural properties and do not transfer any scent or flavor to your food after the cookware is rinsed and heated.
This product is specifically formulated for cast iron. While it is safe for many surfaces, it is designed to fortify and maintain the unique seasoning of cast iron cookware.
It leaves a light, protective layer of coconut oil that helps maintain your seasoning. Simply wipe the pan dry after rinsing, and the oil will absorb into the surface rather than leaving it feeling greasy.
Unlike metal scrubbers that can scratch or strip away your seasoning, this salt scrub uses coarse Dead Sea salt to gently lift debris. It cleans effectively while simultaneously protecting the integrity of your pan's surface.
No, the scrub uses refined coconut oil, which is highly stable and resistant to oxidation. It will not go rancid, making it safe to use for long-term maintenance of your cast iron.
