Micro Ingredients Magnesium Flakes 6 lb — Magnesium Chloride Bath & Foot Soak, High Absorption for Relaxation & Skin Hydration

Micro Ingredients Magnesium Flakes are a concentrated, natural magnesium chloride product designed for dissolving into warm water to create restorative foot and body soaks and topical preparations.

These magnesium chloride flakes come in a 6-pound pouch and are formulated to dissolve easily in baths or foot soaks, offering a simple way to replenish magnesium topically. Unlike Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), magnesium chloride is prized for its high elemental magnesium content and is commonly used in bath soaks, sprays, and homemade skincare products. Micro Ingredients provides a lab-tested, non-GMO product without fillers or common allergens, making it suitable for many DIY routines and spa-style treatments at home.

How do I use these flakes in a bath or foot soak?

To prepare a full bath, dissolve a recommended amount of flakes in warm water until fully dissolved; for foot soaks, use a smaller proportion in a basin of water. Soaking for about 20–30 minutes allows the solution to evenly cover skin. Avoid contact with eyes and do not ingest the flakes.

• Full bath: dissolve flakes in a standard bathtub of warm water.
• Foot soak: add flakes to a basin, stir until clear.
• Soak duration: generally 20–30 minutes per session.
• Safety: external use only; stop use if skin irritation occurs.

What makes magnesium chloride different from Epsom salt?

Magnesium chloride and Epsom salt are both magnesium-based but have different chemical compositions and absorption characteristics. Magnesium chloride contains elemental magnesium in a form often used for topical products and DIY formulations. This product is presented as highly concentrated, dissolvable flakes that many people prefer for skin applications and homemade sprays or lotions.

• Formulation: magnesium chloride flakes vs. magnesium sulfate (Epsom).
• Usage: commonly used in baths, sprays, oils, and scrubs.
• Concentration: sold here as an ultra-concentrated elemental magnesium mineral.
• Allergens: non-GMO and free from common allergens and fillers.

Can I use these flakes to make skincare or topical products?

Yes — the flakes dissolve easily into water-based formulas and can be incorporated into DIY sprays, creams, scrubs, and massage oils as a mineral-rich ingredient. Because the product is free from preservatives, fillers, and common allergens, it can be combined with your preferred carrier oils and botanicals. Always patch-test any new topical preparation to check for sensitivity before wider use.

• Sprays: dissolve flakes in distilled water for a topical mineral mist.
• Scrubs: mix with a carrier like sugar or salt and oil for exfoliation.
• Lotions & oils: incorporate dissolved flakes into water phase formulas cautiously.
• Patch test: test on a small skin area before regular application.

How is the product quality verified and what’s inside the pouch?

Micro Ingredients tests ingredients through third-party labs to confirm purity and potency, and the flakes are free from soy, dairy, gluten, fillers, preservatives, flavors, and tree nuts. Each pouch contains six pounds of loose magnesium chloride flakes that dissolve readily in warm water. The product is intended for external use only and labeled with standard safety cautions.

• Net weight: 6 pounds of magnesium chloride flakes per pouch.
• Testing: 3rd-party lab-tested for purity and potency.
• Free-from: no GMO, preservatives, fillers, or common allergens.
