Mineral Bath Soak

A Mineral and Clay Bath Soak

Bring together the traditional elements of mineral bathing with this unique combination of naturally derived clays, mineral salts, and sulfur compounds. Formulated with seven carefully selected ingredients, this unscented bath soak offers a simple addition to a warm bathing routine.

Mineral bathing has a long history in personal care traditions, where mineral-rich waters, salts, and natural clays have been used as part of cleansing, skin care, and relaxation rituals.

The formulation combines the absorbent characteristics of bentonite clay and diatomaceous earth with the mineral composition of Himalayan pink salt, the alkaline properties of baking soda and borax, and the sulfur-containing compound methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).

Mineral Bathing and Skin Care

Warm baths can provide an opportunity to unwind while gently cleansing the skin. Mineral salts and clays have also attracted scientific interest for their physical properties and potential applications in cosmetic skin care.

Certain mineral-rich bathing solutions have been studied for their effects on skin hydration and barrier function, while clay minerals have been investigated for their oil-absorbing and surface-binding properties.

Ingredients

High-purity, food-chemical-grade diatomaceous earth, aluminum-free baking soda, borax powder, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) sulfur,  Himalayan pink salt, bentonite clay.
