Collection: Magnesium Flakes
Shop the Biggest Range of Magnesium Flakes in Australia
Magnesium flakes are a powerful yet gentle way to support relaxation, recovery, and everyday wellbeing. At The Salt Box, we offer a premium range of magnesium flakes in Australia, carefully sourced for purity, performance, and peace of mind.
Magnesium flakes are a highly concentrated form of magnesium chloride, a naturally occurring mineral found in seawater and in the fluid between our own cells. Rather than being consumed, magnesium flakes are most commonly used in baths and foot soaks, where the mineral is absorbed through the skin to support rest, muscle recovery, and skin comfort.
At The Salt Box, our magnesium flakes are sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed, located around 1600 metres beneath Northern Europe. This pristine underground source has been protected from modern pollution for millions of years. The magnesium rich brine is drawn from deep below the earth and gently dried into flakes, producing some of the purest magnesium chloride available anywhere in the world.
Why use magnesium flakes
Magnesium flakes are designed for external use only. When added to a bath or foot soak, they offer a deeply relaxing and restorative experience that supports both physical and mental wellbeing.
Common benefits of using magnesium flakes include:
- Relief from sore, tight, or tired muscles
- Support for relaxation, stress relief, and improved sleep quality
- Improved circulation and muscle recovery after physical activity
- Hydration and softening of dry or damaged skin
- Replenishment of the body’s magnesium levels through topical absorption
These benefits make magnesium flakes especially popular with athletes, physically active individuals, and those managing muscle tension, arthritis, or day to day stress. Magnesium chloride also plays an important role in many biochemical processes in the body, supporting energy production and overall balance.
How to use magnesium flakes
To enjoy a full body soak, dissolve 1 to 3 cups of magnesium flakes into a warm bath and soak for around 20 minutes. For pregnancy or sensitive skin, use warm rather than hot water.
Magnesium flakes can also be used in a foot soak by dissolving half to one cup into a basin of warm water. After soaking, drink plenty of water to support hydration.
Magnesium flakes can be used regularly as part of a self care routine and are an easy way to support topical magnesium absorption through the skin.
