Description
Elexir Epsom salt is a bath salt consisting of 100% magnesium sulfate. Epsom salt, also called bitter salt, is a relaxing bath salt for tired and sore muscles. With its beneficial, moisturizing and soothing effect on the skin, it is a valued salt for the whole body. Can be used in both bathtubs and for foot baths.
The salt is called “Epsom” because the discovery of this salt was made in the English spa town of Epsom in the 17th century. Epsom salt consists of magnesium sulfate, which in turn consists of three elements – magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. When the salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves and free ions of these substances are released.
You can use Epsom salt for a relaxing bath, softening foot bath or as a body scrub.
