Frequently asked questions
What are Epsom salts?
Epsom salts are magnesium sulphate (INCI: Magnesium Sulfate), a crystalline mineral salt of German origin. They dissolve readily in warm water, which is why they are the classic base for bath salts and foot soaks.
What does tech grade mean, and can I use it in cosmetics?
Tech (technical) grade means it is not supplied for food use. It is acceptable for cosmetics under EU Regulation 1223/2009, so it suits bath salts, bath bombs, scrubs and soaks; the specification and SDS are available on request.
How is magnesium sulphate used in bath bombs and washes?
In bath bombs it adds bulk and a crystalline texture alongside bicarbonate and citric acid. In surfactant washes and shampoos a small amount of the salt helps build viscosity; test your formula, as each surfactant system responds differently.
What pack sizes are available?
From a 5kg pack up to 100kg (four 25kg bags), all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
