Łapczyca is a small township situated between two "salt towns" Wieliczka and Bochnia. The fires of field salt works were burning in the area since the 10th century. Edible salt was manufactured by evaporating natural saline dug from the mines in clay cauldrons. Constant search for new saline deposits led to discovering rock salt deposits in Bochnia. As a result, as the finished product became available, the saline exploitation and evaporation was abandoned, and the fires, which were a part of the scenery for so many years were extinguished.

Deposits of Miocene iodine – bromide salines were discovered in Łapczyca in the early 1970s. Their unique elemental composition and proven medicinal properties led to their use for manufacturing curative salts.

 

In the early 1990s, after 10 centuries, salt evaporation returned to Łapczyca. The raw material is excavated from a deposit of unique, Miocene iodine – bromide salines and it forms a basis for manufacturing natural medicinal and cosmetic products. Simple salt manufacturing method, involving pan evaporation assures that the unique complex of minerals: calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine, bromide, iron and many other micronutrients are retained. Their natural balance and unique mutual correlation ensure their effective impact on the human body.
