Our Story

Being natives of Gilgit Baltistan. Continuing our established history and business legacy for over 4 generations, we are privileged to launch Salajit/Salajeet to bring the finest resin to the marketplace. The idea came into inception during winter 2008-09 where we started doing some research on salajit for our own consumption. Based on our tests, we estimate more than 90% of the products in the marketplace to be either fake or counterfeits. It is an unfortunate reality that is difficult to comprehend. Soon after we embarked on this journey of going to its original source i.e. the mighty mountain range of the Himalayas of Gilgit Baltistan.

A year and half long journey thereafter led to authentic sources and started collaboration with local villagers. Getting the recipe right was another challenge on its own. Most salajit commercially available is cooked (Heated Salajit) that essentially destroys the beneficial characteristics of the resin and many vendors add fulvic acid to increase the volume and make ridiculous claims of minimum content levels. Salajit comes from various spots from the mountains and each of them will differ in content as it is an organic compound that cannot be reproduced in the laboratory. Cooking fast tracks the purification process and adding fulvic acid makes the product cheaper as this acid is commercially available at low prices. Authentic salajit is expensive to source. In comparison, we can’t even directly source/manufacture at the retail prices that many vendors sell on market places. Unfortunately, many fell in this price dilemma and are consuming products that may actually be harmful.

After years of hard-work, perseverance and establishing a sound source to maintain authenticity & efficacy, we have launched our line of Salajit resin to the market that people can safely consume. We are always looking for avenues to help promote the livelihood of people around us which includes the villagers where we are make contributions towards healthcare and children’s educations.
