Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes

Dissolve 0.5 to 1 cup of your Magnesium Bath Flakes in a warm, not hot, bath. Hot water causes the skin to sweat which expels toxins and prevents the body from absorbing as much magnesium as possible. Soak for at least 15 minutes for maximum benefits.

Rinse after use. Store in a cool, dry space.

Is This Soak the Same as Epsom Salt?

Not at all! Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate and is typically manufactured in a factory. In contrast, Rapha Blends Dead Sea flakes consist of pure magnesium chloride flakes sourced directly from the Dead Sea in Israel. Each 2.25 lb bag contains over 200,000 mg of elemental magnesium (45,000 mg per cup), surpassing the magnesium content found in Epsom salt. Furthermore, magnesium chloride may be easier for our bodies to absorb through the skin due to the compound’s makeup. 

Why Should I Soak?

The benefits of a warm bath for both mind and body are substantial. Physically, soaking in warm water can temporarily elevate core body temperature, potentially improving cardiovascular health, glycemic control, and reducing chronic low-grade inflammation, as noted in a 2020 review in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Adding our magnesium flakes enhances these benefits, helping to relax sore, tired muscles while also promoting skin health and hydration. A study in the International Journal of Dermatology found that bathing in a magnesium-rich Dead Sea salt solution improves skin barrier function, boosts hydration, and decreases inflammation in dry, atopic skin.

How Long Should I Soak?

We recommend soaking for at least 15 minutes, with a maximum of 30 minutes, using 0.5 - 1 cups of flakes per bath. The more flakes you use, the stronger the effects will be.
