Product details
Micro Ingredients Magnesium Flakes are a concentrated magnesium chloride salt sold in a 6 lb pouch, designed to dissolve in warm water for nourishing foot and body baths.
These magnesium flakes offer a mineral-rich alternative to conventional Epsom salt, packaged by Micro Ingredients as a high-purity, non-GMO source of elemental magnesium chloride. The flakes dissolve readily in warm water to create a simple soak solution that can be used for relaxing baths, foot soaks, or as a base for salt scrubs, sprays, and DIY topical formulations. The product is made without common allergens and undergoes third-party testing to verify purity and potency.
How do I use these flakes for a relaxing soak?
Dissolve the desired amount of flakes into warm bath or foot soak water, stir until fully dissolved, and soak for 20–30 minutes. Use caution with very hot water and avoid eye contact. After soaking, rinse and pat skin dry if desired.
- Full bath: 1–2 cups dissolved in a warm tub.
- Foot soak: 1/4–1/2 cup in a basin of warm water.
- Soak time: 20–30 minutes to allow minerals to disperse in water.
- Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance, if desired.
What makes Micro Ingredients magnesium flakes different from Epsom salt?
These flakes are magnesium chloride rather than magnesium sulfate (Epsom). Magnesium chloride has a different mineral profile and dissolves readily in water, commonly used by people seeking an alternative mineral source for topical baths and homemade skin products.
- Form: concentrated magnesium chloride flakes.
- Solubility: fast-dissolving in warm water.
- Use cases: baths, foot soaks, sprays, scrubs, and lotions.
- Label: non-GMO and free from common allergens and fillers.
How should I store and handle the 6 lb pouch?
Keep the resealable pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture and strong odors. Reseal after each use to preserve flake quality and prevent clumping.
- Storage: cool, dry cupboard or bathroom cabinet.
- Packaging: large resealable pouch for multiple uses.
- Safety: for external use only; avoid ingestion and eye contact.
- Allergen info: no soy, dairy, gluten, tree nuts, preservatives, or fillers.
Can I use these flakes in DIY body products?
Yes—Magnesium flakes can be incorporated into homemade sprays, oils, lotions, and exfoliating scrubs as a mineral-rich ingredient. Measure carefully and test on a small skin patch before widespread use to check for sensitivity.
- Sprays: dissolve flakes in warm water to create a topical magnesium mist.
- Oils/lotions: mix dissolved magnesium solution into carrier oils or cream bases.
- Scrubs: combine flakes with a carrier oil and sugar for an exfoliant.
- Patch test: always test on a small area first for skin tolerance.
Who is this for: Micro Ingredients Magnesium Flakes, 6 lb is suited for people who prefer a concentrated magnesium chloride bath salt in bulk—those who make frequent foot or full-body soaks, create DIY topical products, or maintain a home wellness routine. It appeals to shoppers wanting allergen-free, third-party tested mineral flakes in a large resealable pouch for repeated at-home use.
