The Himalayan Salt Pillar Aroma Diffuser Lamp has been nominated for the coveted NEXTY Award in the Best New Natural Living Product category. The official award of Natural Products Expo, the NEXTY recognizes innovation within the natural products industry and highlights brands poised for capturing mainstream attention.

"This is a one of a kind aromatherapy lamp," says Aloha Bay Co-founder Tom Closser. "We have united the natural benefits of 250-million-year-old Himalayan sea salt with the unique properties of diffused essential oils. We are so pleased the NEXTY Awards committee has recognized the combined benefits of this product."

The Aroma Diffuser Lamp's features and social responsibility have made it a stand-out home or office product. The lamp is shaped by hand on a lathe. The pillar itself represents structure, support and integrity. Atop the pillar rests a hand-blown glass Essential Oil diffuser that gives this lamp multiple household benefits and a warm, soft glow. Also, every lamp base and switch is third-party safety tested to ensure manufacturing is in compliance with Intertek and Underwriters Laboratories quality and safety requirements.

New Products From the Salt Nature Intended

Made from salt that has been maturing over the past 250 million years with no known exposure to impurities and toxins, the Himalayan salt products that Aloha Bay offers, including a variety of unique salt lamps, bath salts and edible table salts, are sourced from a family-owned company in Northern Pakistan. The company utilizes advanced social and environmental standards where factory workers are guaranteed year-round employment, fair wages, health benefits, pregnancy leave, paid vacation, English as a second language education, and safe working conditions.

In addition to the new Diffuser Lamp, Aloha Bay will feature its line of USDA Certified Organic Himalayan Salt Scrubs with 100% pure essential oils at Expo West. The Salt Scrubs contain pure pink Himalayan crystal salt, sustainably sourced organic palm oil with naturally occurring tocopherols and amino acids, and organic coconut oil, and are scented with 100% pure organic essential oils. They are are available in 12-oz jars and come in three scents: Lavender/Chamomile, Tangerine/Grapefruit, and Peppermint/Spearmint. The line reflects the growing demand for Himalayan salt bath products and Aloha Bay's resources in sourcing high-quality organic essential oils.
