INCI: Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium Chloride Flakes are a naturally occurring mineral salt used in bath soaks, foot soaks, and DIY topical brine preparations. They dissolve easily in water and create a concentrated mineral solution often called magnesium oil, even though no actual oil is present. This makes them useful for simple external mineral routines where a plain, single-ingredient raw material is preferred. They are intended for external use only.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Magnesium Chloride Flakes because they are simple, versatile, and easy to work into everyday soak and spray routines. The single-ingredient format also makes them a practical choice for low-clutter self-care making.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

A: If you plan to keep a water-based spray for ongoing use, suitable preservation and hygienic handling are recommended.
