Mineral Salts in skincare
Mineral salts such as magnesium sulfate, sea salt, and other bath salts are used to build bath soak texture, weight, and spa positioning. They dissolve into bath water and carry scent, botanicals, clays, or colorants.
Why it is used
- Builds the base of mineral bath soaks.
- Adds visual texture and weight to bath products.
- Carries scent, botanicals, and clay in spa-style formulas.
Good to know
Granule size changes visual appeal and dissolve rate.
Salts can carry fragrance and color but may need anti-caking controls.
Avoid therapeutic soak claims unless reviewed under the proper regulatory path.
Claim guardrail
Keep mineral salt claims sensory and cosmetic: bath feel, soak experience, and merchandising. Avoid detox, pain relief, or therapeutic claims.
