Rediscover your sauna as a space of wellness, ritual, and renewal.
The Kiuassuola Sauna Salt Starter Kit infuses your sauna sessions with the natural benefits of salt therapy. When placed on the handcrafted ILMARI Basic soapstone base, the Kiuassuola salt slowly evaporates, releasing mineral-rich particles into the air that help ease breathing, soothe dry skin, and purify the steam atmosphere.
Inspired by Finnish folklore and mythology, the ILMARI base draws from the story of Ilmarinen — the blacksmith who created the mythical Sampo, a symbol of abundance and salt. Just as ancient sauna spirits were honored in traditional saunas, ILMARI quietly serves as your sauna companion, bringing calm, clean, and healing steam to your ritual.
Each soapstone base is:
Uncoated, natural, and pure – so safe it could return to nature
Made from eco-friendly surplus stone from Tulikivi fireplaces
Shaped to optimize the release of salt vapor
Built to blend into traditional and modern sauna environments
Choose from:
Himalayan Rock Salt – ethically mined in Pakistan
Atlantic Sea Salt – sustainably harvested from Portugal
Kiuassuola Sauna Salt Starter Kit with ILMARI Basic Soapstone Base
- Transform Your Sauna into a Salt Wellness Retreat – Kiuassuola gently evaporates on the ILMARI Basic soapstone base, releasing salt particles into the air for a salt room–like effect that supports respiratory comfort, clearer air, and hydrated skin.
- Supports Breathing & Skin Health – The evaporated salt adds moisture and air purity to sauna steam, helping ease congestion, support respiratory wellness, and soothe dry, irritated, or atopic skin.
