Relaxing Epsom Salts Soft Skin Bath Soak
Posted on July 01 2026
Who doesn't like a hot bath and taking some time out for yourself. Whether you've spent the day in the garden, been on your feet for hours, completed a tough workout, or simply need a moment to unwind. A relaxing bath can be so soothing.
Turn your bath into a spa-like retreat with this blend of Epsom Salts, baking soda and pure essential oils. Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate) have been used for generations in baths to help ease tired, aching muscles and encourage relaxation. And our natural Baking Soda naturally softens the water, helping to leave skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed while also providing a gentle cleansing effect.
The addition of pure essential oils transforms an ordinary bath into an aromatic experience. Lavender is renowned for its calming properties. It's one of my favourite essential oils.
