This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating a very special female icon behind the scenes at Salt Lab, our founder, Clementine Boshevski.
Clementine’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and a commitment to wellness, not just for herself, but for everyone she touches. A former gym owner, personal trainer, nutritionist, and health coach, Clementine lived by a “no rest for the wicked” mentality. But this drive came at a cost. Years of pushing herself led to burnout, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, and severe nervous system disruption.
“I opened a gym in Williamstown and through that I just hit total burnout. I was seeing a natural therapist and he told me that I needed to be taking magnesium. The magnesium powders were just going straight through me. When I did my research on magnesium oil, I couldn’t find one on the market that didn’t contain heavy metals, medications, or that was manufactured in Australia, so there was a definite gap in the market.”

Frustrated with the lack of a clean, high-quality, Australian-made magnesium oil, Clementine decided to create her own. From that spark, Salt Lab was born: a 100% natural, Australian-made, topical magnesium oil that has since helped thousands of customers relax, recover, and sleep better.
“Nutrition is the why behind the brand. I started Salt Lab with the purpose of making people feel better. I recently received an email from a customer whose father had such bad arthritis he couldn’t pick her kids up off the ground. She explained that he had been using our products for three weeks, and he could now pick them up. And I was just like - my job is done.”
Since launching Salt Lab in 2017, Clementine has juggled the challenges of motherhood, running a farm, and leading her team, all while staying true to her mission of wellness. Her trusted magnesium oil remains a daily ritual for her, just as it is for so many of our loyal customers.
“Any mother would know, juggling the kids, the house, and work can be tough. But it’s in these moments that the true power of a woman shines, finding strength, calm, and love even in the chaos."
Women Who Inspire Clementine
Clementine credits the women in her life for much of her inspiration and guidance:
1. Melissa Kupsch (@thathomeopath)
Her clear focus on a healthier future through natural medicine, and her courage to boldly walk that path no matter what, is something Clementine deeply admires. Melissa’s vision, strength, and community service are qualities she respects immensely.
2. Her Daughters
A daily mirror. Clementine’s daughters show her where healing is needed, where to return to self, and how simple life can be. They embody resilience, curiosity, and joy in its purest form.
3. Her Sister
Clementine’s anchor. Her sister lives by her word and stands firm in truth. Strength, honesty, and a sense of fun are her DNA, and they remind Clementine not to take life too seriously.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate Clementine and the women who inspire her. Their strength, courage, and unwavering commitment to living fully remind us why supporting women, at work, at home, and in wellness, is so important.
