Not all Epsom Salt is created equal. At Golden Essence, we supply high-purity magnesium sulphate (Epsom Salt) with a guaranteed minimum of 99.5% purity — backed by a full Certificate of Analysis (available upon request). But what does that actually mean? Whether you're a wellness enthusiast, a business buyer, or someone curious about how quality affects use, let’s break it down in simple terms.
What Is Epsom Salt?
Epsom Salt is the common name for Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate — a naturally occurring compound of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. It’s often used in wellness for baths and foot soaks, but also plays an important role in other sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, cleaning products, and animal care.
Why Purity Matters
Our product comes with a guaranteed minimum of 99.5% purity, with typical results at 99.72%, meaning fewer impurities, better solubility, and more consistent performance.
In plain terms: Less filler, more active ingredient. That means:
- A better soak in wellness and spa applications
- Greater predictability in formulations (for businesses making creams, soaks, or cleaning products)
- Lower impurity risks for agricultural or animal use
Key Quality Highlights from the CoA:
- Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO₄): 48.72% – highly concentrated
- Magnesium (Mg): 9.86% – a rich source for topical applications
-
Very low heavy metals:
- Lead (Pb): 0.0006%
- Mercury (Hg): 0.000005 ppm
- Arsenic (As): 0.0002%
- Chloride: Just 0.014% – important for skin and plant safety
- Insolubles: Just 0.0075% – dissolves fully, leaves no gritty residue
Who Uses It?
This versatile mineral salt is used across many sectors:
- 💆♀️ Wellness and Day Spas – in soaking tubs, scrubs, and bath bombs
- 🌿 Cosmetic Manufacturers – as a base or active in topical products
- 🐎 Animal Care – as a muscle soak for horses and livestock
- 🌱 Horticulture & Gardening – as a magnesium boost for plants
- 🧼 Cleaning Product Makers – for its water-softening and scrubbing qualities
- 🏢 Facilities & Clinics – in bulk for hydrotherapy and rehabilitation
How to Use Epsom Salt at Home
Bath Soak: Add 1–2 cups to a warm bath and soak for at least 20 minutes. For a foot soak, 1 cup in a large bowl of warm water is plenty.
Enhanced Blends: You can easily blend our Epsom Salt with a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or peppermint) for aromatherapy benefits. For a luxurious home spa mix, combine with our Magnesium Bath Flakes or Dead Sea Salt.
Always mix the oils separately in a small amount of carrier oil (like Jojoba or Fractionated Coconut Oil) before adding to the water to avoid skin irritation.
