Magnesium Sulfate Powder

A versatile raw material for artisans, makers & small businesses.

Magnesium Sulfate Powder, commonly known as Epsom Salt, is a versatile mineral ingredient used in a variety of handmade bath and body formulations. Its fine powder form makes it easy to weigh, blend, and incorporate into custom formulations.

Common Uses

Magnesium Sulfate Powder can be used in:

• Bath salts and bath soaks
• Foot soaks
• Body scrubs
• Exfoliating blends
• Spa-inspired products
• Handmade gift sets
• Custom bath and body formulations

Suggested Usage Rates

As a starting point for formulation:

• Bath salts & bath soaks: 50–90%
• Foot soaks: 50–90%
• Body scrubs: 5–25%
• Other rinse-off products: up to 25%, depending on the formulation

These are suggested starting ranges, not universal maximums. The appropriate percentage will depend on the type of product you are making, the other ingredients in your formulation, and the desired texture and performance.

For bath salts and soaks, higher percentages may be suitable because these products are primarily dry salt blends. For creams, lotions, scrubs, and other cosmetic formulations, lower usage levels may be more appropriate.

For makers: Always create a small test batch first and calculate your usage based on the total weight of your formulation. Test the finished product for appearance, texture, stability, and overall performance before selling.

Create it. Blend it. Make it yours.
