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.

Magnesium flakes

I have not had a chance to use any of the products, but I am very happy with the packaging.
I must just crush them finely to fit into the bottles opening, to make deodorant.
I do look forward to exploring more uses other than deodorant.

It's Got Your Back

I purchased this to make a magnesium spray however, my beloved pulled his back and ended up soaking in a magnesium bath. This coupled with a few other methods left him feeling less tense and he was able to heal.

Thank you so much for reaching out to us! 😊

Unfortunately, our Magnesium Chloride Flakes are not Food Grade and would therefore not be suitable for your intended use.
