Our Magnesium Flakes come from the ancient Zechstein Sea in the Netherlands, naturally preserved deep underground for over 250 million years. A warm magnesium soak is the perfect way to unwind at the end of a busy day. Here's how to make the most of it, plus a simple evening routine to go with it.
- Pure magnesium chloride from the Zechstein Sea
- For a relaxing bath or a foot soak
- Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed
- Fragrance free, vegan and cruelty free
1kg resealable pack.
How to use
Two ways to soak
In the bath
Dissolve 2 to 5 handfuls (250 to 500g) in warm water. Soak and relax for 20 minutes or longer.
As a foot soak
Dissolve 1 to 2 handfuls (100 to 250g) in a bowl of warm water. Soak and relax for 20 minutes.
Make a spray
Dissolve the flakes in water to make your own magnesium oil spray. See how here.
Reseal the pack after every use and store somewhere cool and dry. The flakes naturally attract moisture and may clump, which doesn't affect their quality.
Wellbeing tips
Your evening wind-down in five steps
1 · Set the scene
Dim the lights, put your phone in another room and give yourself time that's just for you.

Run a warm (not too hot) bath with our Magnesium Flakes and relax for 20 minutes. Add a few drops of your favourite essential oil if you like.
3 · Facial massage
While your skin is warm, smooth a few drops of our Anti-Ageing Facial Oil over your face and glide our Gua Sha upwards and outwards to ease facial tension.
4 · Night cream
Finish with our Bio-Retinol Night Cream, a rich, unscented cream that works while you sleep.
5 · A warm mug
Stir our Chocolate, Lion's Mane & Reishi Blend into warm milk for a comforting, chocolatey end to the day.
