Description

Epsom salts are magnesium sulphate crystals that dissolve in warm water. They are a long-standing choice for a soak after sport, gardening, a day on your feet or a hard week. This Ultra Pure 4kg bag is the practical size if you bathe with them regularly or share them around the house.

How to use: run a warm bath, add the amount shown on the bag (most directions are one to two cupfuls) and stir until the crystals dissolve. Soak for about 20 minutes, then rinse and dry. For a foot soak, dissolve a handful or two in a basin of warm water and sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Dry well between the toes afterwards.

Who it is for: adults who want a plain, unscented soak. The plain bag has no added fragrance or colour, so it suits people who find scented bath products irritating. Children should only use it with an adult supervising and with less salt in the water.

In the pack: one 4kg bag. Keep it closed and dry, because the crystals absorb moisture and clump.

Cautions: for external use only. This product is not a medicine and is not for taking by mouth. Do not use on broken or infected skin and keep it out of the eyes. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or numbness in your feet, ask our pharmacists or your GP before starting regular hot foot soaks. Stop if your skin becomes red or itchy. Always read the label.

Questions about Ultra Pure Epsom Salts 4kg Bag

How much Epsom salt goes in a bath?

Follow the bag. Most directions are one to two cupfuls in a standard warm bath, stirred until dissolved, followed by a soak of about 20 minutes. For a foot basin a handful or two is plenty. A 4kg bag covers many baths at that rate.

Can I take Epsom salts by mouth?

Not this product. It is sold for baths and foot soaks only. Magnesium sulphate taken by mouth acts as a laxative and that is a separate medicine with its own dose and warnings. If constipation is the problem, ask our pharmacists; the HSE constipation page covers what helps first.

What is the difference between Epsom salts and ordinary bath salts?

Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. Most ordinary bath salts are sodium chloride, the same salt as table salt, with fragrance and colour added. They feel similar in the water, but they are different substances, and Epsom salts are usually sold plain.
