FAQs

How is this different than epsom salts?

Magnesium bath flakes (magnesium chloride) and Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are both mineral salts used in bathing traditions, but they differ in form, origin, and experience.

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes are made with magnesium chloride, which offers a smooth, easily dissolvable soak and is known for its use in professional wellness settings. Epsom salts, composed of magnesium sulfate, are more commonly found in general retail and may vary in source and consistency.

Our flakes are sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed, a protected and deeply buried natural deposit. By contrast, many Epsom salt brands do not disclose their source and may be packaged from various suppliers based on availability.

Where does Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride come from?

Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride is harvested from the Zechstein seabed, a deeply buried, ancient deposit in the Netherlands. This source has been protected from modern environmental exposure for millions of years, and is known for its consistency and quality.

We use only Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, and every Ancient Minerals product carries the Genuine Zechstein mark—a reflection of its origin and mineral identity.

Is this the best application for children and how much should be used?

Magnesium baths have been used by families as a gentle self-care practice for children. For a small bath, many parents choose to add ½ to 1 cup of flakes to warm water, adjusting as needed based on the child’s age and comfort level.

As with any new product, we recommend consulting your pediatrician—especially for children under 2 years of age.

How often should I take a magnesium bath?

Magnesium baths can be enjoyed regularly as part of a self-care routine. Many people choose to soak a few times per week, while others make it a daily ritual.

As with any personal care practice, frequency can be adjusted based on your individual needs and preferences.

Are Ancient Minerals products appropriate during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Many women choose to include magnesium baths as part of their self-care routine during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use—especially if it’s your first time using topical magnesium.
