What the AI looks for in Bath Salts
- Grade
- Look for magnesium sulfate labeled USP grade. USP grade indicates a defined purity standard. Some cheap salts are agricultural grade.
- Salt type
- Choose Epsom salt for a muscle soak, and Dead Sea or sea salt for a mineral or skin soak. These are different products sold under the same 'bath salt' label.
- Scent
- Choose unscented if you have sensitive skin or eczema. Essential-oil blends are the main source of irritation in bath salts.
Brands that matter
- Dr Teal's: Scented and unscented Epsom soaks.
- Epsoak: Plain USP Epsom salt.
- Westlab: Epsom and mineral bath salts.
What to avoid
- Salts that do not state their grade or composition
- Heavily dyed salts that can stain the tub
