Ingredient Spotlight: The Beauty from Within - Epsom Salt

You may know that SōK is known for having simple non-toxic ingredients. But I am going to choose one specific ingredient and really show you the heart of it. Today we are going to zoom in on Epsom salt. Epsom salt is a true powerhouse ingredient for your SōK products! Despite its name, Epsom salt isn't actually table salt; it's a naturally occurring mineral compound of magnesium sulfate, named after the town of Epsom in England where it was first discovered. Renowned for its therapeutic properties, Epsom salt has been a go-to remedy for generations. When dissolved in warm bathwater, it works its magic by allowing your body to absorb magnesium, a vital mineral involved in over 300 bodily processes. This can lead to a myriad of benefits, including soothing sore muscles and reducing inflammation, making it perfect after a workout or a long day on your feet.   

Beyond muscle relaxation, Epsom salt is also celebrated for its ability to ease stress and promote better sleep by helping to regulate neurotransmitters (The brain's tiny messengers) related to relaxation. Furthermore, while Epsom salt provides a gentle touch for foot exfoliation, for a more thorough and invigorating body exfoliation experience, our SōK sugar scrubs are wonderfully formulated just for you! Incorporating Epsom salt into our SōK products isn't just about adding a textural element; it's about infusing your self-care ritual with genuine wellness benefits that nurture both body and mind.
