Magnesium
bath flakes
by Ancient Minerals
Salt, hot water, and forty minutes nobody can reach you.
Magnesium chloride drawn from the Zechstein seabed, sold as flakes for the bath. One ingredient, no fragrance, no colour. It dissolves faster than Epsom salt and leaves the water feeling slightly soft. We keep the 8 lb bag by the tub and stop counting.
One ingredient
Unscented
Zechstein source
Epsom alternative
from $10.95 / 1.65 lb
Where to find it
Ancient Minerals direct, checked August 2026. Also in 4.4 lb and 8 lb bags.

What is inside — and what is never
What is inside
- ✦ Magnesium chloride, Zechstein source
- ✦ Nothing else
What is never
- — Fragrance and dye
- — Fillers sold by weight
- — Claims about detoxing
- — A promise we cannot evidence
What we cannot claim
The claim that magnesium is absorbed through the skin in useful amounts is not well supported. A 2017 review called the case for transdermal magnesium unproven. Bathing in magnesium-rich salts does have measured effects on the skin barrier itself. So: buy it for the bath and the skin, not for the blood test.

How to use it
The forty-minute bath
i.
Run it hot
Two large handfuls under the running tap. Let them dissolve before you get in.
ii.
Leave the phone
In another room. This is most of the active ingredient, and it is free.
iii.
Get out warm
Twenty to forty minutes. Rinse if you like, pat dry, and go straight to bed.
“I will not tell you the magnesium reaches your bloodstream. I will tell you that I sleep better on the nights I do this, and that it costs almost nothing to find out whether you do too.”— Medina, founder of ETHOS
