ℹ️General Overview
For adults: Magnesium sulfate (the substance sometimes called Epsom salt) is generally safe to use on the skin. Safety reviews list only low-level concerns, and it is not expected to build up in the body.
✅What to Do
Use products that list magnesium sulfate as directed on the label. For adult skin and body use (bath salts, creams, scrubs): avoid putting the product on broken or irritated skin. If you have sensitive skin, test a small patch first. Stop use and wash the area if you get redness, itching, or a rash. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, check with your healthcare provider before using large or frequent topical treatments.
