If you looking to create a potent bath soak look no further than our magnesium chloride flakes. These are made of dry magnesium chloride, which makes your bath soaks/salts much more absorbable and effective than plain Epsom salts. These magnesium salt flakes have approximately 15g of absorbable magnesium per cup.

Magnesium chloride flakes differ from Epsom salts/magnesium sulfate, in the quality and absorption rate of the magnesium. Epsom salts make a great carrier and base for bath salts, soaks, scrubs, bath fizzies and more, but magnesium flakes are the true product to use if you really want to have an effective level of magnesium in your soaks. Our magnesium flakes will boost the effectiveness of your magnesium treatments.

As a note, magnesium flakes are active all the time, so when exposed to the air they will start to absorb moisture. If you haven’t accessed your store of magnesium flakes in a while and find them moist, no worries. Just add them to your formulas as usual. They don’t lose their effectiveness when absorbing moisture from the air. For this reason, we do suggest that you add them to your bath formulas last.

Directions for use: dissolve 1-3 cups or more of your bath soak blend or pure magnesium flakes in a warm, not hot, bath. Hot water causes the skin to sweat which expels toxins and prevents the body from absorbing as much magnesium as possible, so warm water is best.

Magnesium is a critical mineral for our bodies and almost all of us are deficient. Increased magnesium levels are said to help with:

Bone density

Muscle strains/aches

Improved athletic performance

Improved cardiovascular health

PMS/Menstrual difficulties

Sleep disorders

ADHD

Headaches

Diabetes

Eczema

Psoriasis

The regular use of magnesium-based bath salts can help increase the body’s magnesium levels. Our skin is our biggest organ and incorporating regular baths with magnesium flakes is the ideal way to absorb the mineral without having digestive or oral absorption issues. When using magnesium salts, it is suggested to not have a super hot bath. You don’t want to be sweating, as that is your body’s way of expelling. You want the water just warm enough to open the pores and allow the skin to absorb; if you are sweating, you won’t suck up the magnesium.

Magnesium Bath Soak Formula Suggestions:

50% Magnesium flakes

25% Epsom Salt

15% Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

5% Sodium Bicarbonate

5% Citric acid– for fizzing bath soaks or

5% SLSA powder or SCI Needles for foaming bath soaks

Combine these with an amazing essential oil blend and get soaking! When you add essential oils to your dry bath soaks you want to add the scent to the Epsom salt/pink Himalayan sea salts first. Blend well and make sure the scent load is high enough for the full formula. Then add this scented salt blend to your magnesium flakes, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid/SLSA/SCI noodles. These ingredients will all absorb too much moisture to add the scent directly to them. If you do that, you’ll have clumpy wet products and may have to start all over!
