Does Pink Salt for Weight Loss Work?
In the spring and summer of 2025, social media posts accurately claimed adding Hawaiian pink salt to a glass of lemon water favors weight loss.
As people prepared for swimsuit season in 2025, a claim spread online that drinking Hawaiian pink salt mixed with lemon water promotes weight loss. For example, one user on TikTok demonstrated in a video how she prepared the concoction, to which she also added vinegar and pepper.
The claim wasn’t new, however. In 2022 a TikTok influencer who said he helped women over the age of 40 lose weight posted this video, explaining the alleged science behind the claim.
