Bath salts are a popular bath and body product designed to enhance the bathing experience by providing relaxation, skin care benefits, and aromatherapy benefits. These salts are typically made from various types of mineral salts, such as Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), Dead Sea salt, or Himalayan salt, which are often combined with essential oils, herbs, and other natural ingredients.

When added to warm bathwater, bath salts dissolve, releasing their beneficial properties into the water. The minerals in the salts are believed to be absorbed through the skin, helping to soothe sore muscles, relieve tension, and promote relaxation. Epsom salt, for example, is known for its ability to ease muscle aches and improve circulation, while Dead Sea salt is prized for its high mineral content, which is thought to nourish and detoxify the skin.
