Why Clean Epsom Salts?
While we have to go about our lives in a reasonable way there is a growing desire to cut back or completely eliminate various harmful additives. This is something near and dear to my heart.
When creating my brand I wanted to be able to share these with my close family members including my younger sister who has a number of health concerns. She struggles with a ton of sensory issues and has only used "fragrance-free" Epsom salts in the past.
- Traditional Epsom salts can contain additives
Most store-bought Epsom salts (especially the scented ones) contain:
- Synthetic parfum/fragrance: These often include phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors.
- Artificial colors or dyes: Added for aesthetic, but unnecessary for wellness.
- Fillers or anti-caking agents: These dilute the purity and can irritate sensitive skin.
2. Sensitive skin needs simplicity
Many people use Epsom salt baths for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, anxiety, or muscle recovery. Clean salts without additives:
- Reduce risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions
- Are safe for kids and pregnancy (when essential oils are also chosen wisely)
- Work in harmony with other natural ingredients like essential oils, herbs, or flowers
3. “Clean” aligns with wellness & our mission of sustainability
Clean ingredients means a clean conscience as well! :) Avoiding synthetic fillers and fragrances helps:
- Reduce waterway pollution (synthetics are hard to filter out)
- Support at-home gray-water reuse (e.g., for watering non-edible plants)
- Promote a non-toxic self-care routine that supports holistic health
