Pure Zechstein Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes for Relaxation & Recovery
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes are pure, highly soluble magnesium chloride bath flakes sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed – a deeply buried mineral deposit protected from modern environmental pollutants for millions of years.
Designed for use in a warm bath or foot soak, these concentrated magnesium flakes dissolve quickly and cleanly in water, creating a simple mineral soak that is ideal after exercise, a long day on your feet, or as part of a relaxing evening routine.
Unlike traditional Epsom salts, which contain magnesium sulphate, Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes contain magnesium chloride and are made with a single, naturally sourced mineral ingredient.
Why Choose Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes?
- Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride
- Sourced from the ancient underground Zechstein seabed
- Highly soluble and fast-dissolving
- Helps create a relaxing mineral bath after physical activity
- Ideal for evening baths and foot soaks
- Leaves no gritty residue
- Fragrance-free
- No added colours, synthetic fragrances or preservatives
- Suitable for regular use as part of your bath and body-care routine
A Simple Way to Unwind
Add Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes to warm bath water after exercise, travel or a demanding day. The mineral-rich soak provides an easy way to incorporate magnesium bathing into your self-care routine while helping the body unwind and leaving the skin feeling soft and refreshed.
For a more targeted option, the flakes can also be dissolved in a foot bath – ideal after standing, walking or exercising.
How to Use
Dissolve the desired amount of Magnesium Flakes in a warm bath or foot bath.
Soak for 20 minutes or longer and allow yourself time to relax. After bathing, rinse if desired and gently pat the skin dry.
For best results, use warm rather than excessively hot water.
Ingredients
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride Flakes (and naturally occurring trace minerals).
Approximately 15g elemental magnesium per cup of flakes, according to the manufacturer.
No added fragrance, colours or preservatives.
Magnesium Chloride vs Epsom Salts
Although both are commonly used for mineral baths, they are not the same:
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes: Magnesium Chloride
Traditional Epsom Salts: Magnesium Sulphate
Magnesium chloride is highly soluble in water, allowing Ancient Minerals flakes to dissolve easily and create a smooth, residue-free mineral bath.
About Ancient Minerals
Ancient Minerals specialises in topical magnesium products made using Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride. The magnesium is sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed beneath the Netherlands, a mineral deposit that has remained isolated from modern environmental exposure for millions of years.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and irritated or broken skin. If pregnant, breastfeeding, using on young children, or if you have a medical condition, consult your healthcare professional if you are unsure whether magnesium bathing is appropriate for you.
Genuine Zechstein Magnesium Chloride Flakes
What are Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes?
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes are concentrated magnesium chloride bath flakes sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed beneath the Netherlands. They are designed to dissolve in warm water for use in full-body baths and foot soaks.
Are magnesium flakes the same as Epsom salts?
No. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes contain magnesium chloride, while traditional Epsom salts contain magnesium sulphate. Both can be used in mineral baths, but they are chemically different forms of magnesium.
How do I use Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes?
Add the flakes to a warm bath and allow them to dissolve completely before soaking. They can also be used in a smaller foot bath for a more concentrated soak.
A soaking time of around 20 minutes or longer is commonly recommended.
How much should I add to a bath?
The amount can be adjusted according to personal preference and bath size. For a full-body mineral bath, start with a moderate amount and increase gradually if desired.
For a foot soak, a smaller quantity of flakes can be dissolved in a basin of comfortably warm water.
Can I use Magnesium Flakes every day?
Magnesium baths can be incorporated into a regular bathing routine. Some people prefer to use them several times per week, while others use them after exercise or whenever they want a relaxing mineral soak.
If you have sensitive skin, start with a lower concentration and see how your skin responds.
Can Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes help after exercise?
They are popular for post-exercise baths and recovery routines because a warm magnesium chloride soak can provide a relaxing way to unwind after physical activity.
They should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment for persistent muscle pain, injury or other health conditions.
Can I use the flakes in a foot bath?
Yes. Magnesium Flakes are particularly convenient for foot soaks. Simply dissolve the flakes in warm water and soak your feet for approximately 20 minutes.
This can be a useful option when you do not have time for a full bath.
Do I need to rinse my skin after a magnesium bath?
Rinsing is optional. Some people prefer to rinse with fresh water after soaking, particularly when using a stronger concentration.
After bathing, gently pat the skin dry rather than rubbing vigorously.
Can magnesium flakes irritate sensitive skin?
Magnesium chloride can occasionally cause mild tingling or stinging, particularly on very dry, freshly shaved, irritated or broken skin.
If you have sensitive skin, begin with a weaker bath concentration and avoid applying magnesium solutions directly to damaged skin.
Can I use Magnesium Flakes on broken or freshly shaved skin?
It is best to avoid using concentrated magnesium chloride on broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin, as it may sting.
Are Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes scented?
No. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes are fragrance-free and contain no added perfumes, colours or preservatives.
Where does the magnesium come from?
Ancient Minerals uses Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, sourced from an ancient underground seabed beneath the Netherlands. The mineral deposit has remained isolated deep underground for millions of years.
Can children use magnesium baths?
Magnesium baths may be used by families, but children generally require a much lower concentration than adults. If using magnesium flakes for a young child, or if the child has a medical condition or particularly sensitive skin, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional first.
Can I use Magnesium Flakes during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is sensible to check with your healthcare professional before introducing highly concentrated mineral baths, particularly if you have any medical conditions or pregnancy-related complications.
Are Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes for internal use?
No. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes are intended for external use only and should not be consumed.
How should I store the flakes?
Keep the bag tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry location away from moisture. Magnesium chloride naturally attracts moisture from the air, so the flakes may begin to clump or dissolve if the package is left open.
