Epsom Salt - Magnesium Sulfate - Primär

Epsom salt (also known as bitter salt or English salt) is magnesium sulfate with a purity of over 99%. Added to warm water, it turns an ordinary bath into 20 minutes of relaxation: after a workout, after a long day on your feet or before bed.

What does an Epsom salt bath do for you?

• Relaxation after a long day – your body unwinds and your mind finally gets a rest.
• A feeling of lightness for tired legs and feet – after a workout, a day of standing at work or a long walk.
• Soft, smooth skin – a soak softens the skin, including hard skin on the heels, and a salt scrub smooths it.

You'll feel the difference as soon as you step out of the bath. One or two baths a week are enough to make it a regular ritual.

How to use Epsom salt

• Relaxing bath: add 1–2 cups (approx. 250–500 g) to a warm bath and wait for the crystals to dissolve. Soak for 15–20 minutes, then rinse your body with clean water.
• Foot soak for tired feet: half a cup in a bowl of warm water, 15–20 minutes. Afterwards, hard skin on the heels is easier to remove.
• Body scrub for smooth skin: mix a handful of salt with a tablespoon of coconut oil, massage into damp skin and rinse off.

Frequently asked questions

How is Epsom salt different from sea salt or Himalayan salt?
It's a different compound: magnesium sulfate rather than sodium chloride. That's why it tastes bitter and isn't used for seasoning food.

Which size should I choose?
1 kg to try it out. If you plan to take baths regularly, 3.5 kg will last several weeks and works out cheaper per kilogram.

Are there any precautions?
The salt is for external use only. Do not use it on broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant or have a chronic condition, consult your doctor first. Store in a dry place, out of the reach of children.

Did you know? Where the name Epsom comes from

Epsom is a town in Surrey, England. According to tradition, in 1618 a farmer noticed that his cows refused to drink from one of the local springs. The water turned out to be rich in a bitter salt, later identified as magnesium sulfate, and before the end of the 17th century Epsom had become a fashionable spa town. That's why the salt is also known as English salt.
