Benefit 1: muscle relaxation
Adding bath salts to your bath water can help relax tight muscles and provide relief from soreness or muscle aches and tension. The magnesium in the sea salts helps to improve blood circulation, which can reduce inflammation and pain.
Plus, the warm bath water itself also helps to soothe muscles, making it the perfect combo for muscle relaxation.
Benefit 2: mental relaxation
It’s not just your physical body that benefits from bath salts – your mind does, too! The aromas in our bath salts can help calm the mind, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote relaxation, making for a full body and mind relaxation experience.
If you’ve had a long day or need to unwind, a bath with our bath salts is the perfect way to do so.
The best bath salts for relaxation
Our blöta Bath Salt – Rose Petal & Rosemary is our best bath salt formulation for de-stressing your soul.
The sweet rose and rosemary scent will uplift your senses and your mood, leaving you feeling as fresh as a daisy (or a rose, in this case). The rose extract is also rich in vitamin C, which works wonders for your skin by encouraging skin cell renewal and healing your skin’s barrier.

Soothe your body and mind with our deep relaxation bath salts. Indulge in a rose petal and rosemary bath to promote healing and improve your mood.
Benefit 3: detoxifies your skin
The sea salts in our bath salts are also great for detoxifying your body. As you soak in the warm water, the sea salts help to draw out toxins and nasties from your skin, leaving you feeling purified and refreshed.
Throughout the day, our skin comes into contact with various pollutants and toxins, like air pollution, UV rays, and chemicals. Soaking in a bath with our bath salts helps to remove these impurities, leaving your skin feeling clean and rejuvenated.
Benefit 4: improves sleep
There’s nothing quite like a relaxing bath before bed to help you drift off into a peaceful slumber. We’ve specially formulated our blöta Bath Salt – Lavender & Chamomile to promote a good night’s rest using real lavender and chamomile extracts.
Lavender has been used for centuries to aid relaxation and improve sleep, while chamomile is known for its calming properties. Together, they create the ultimate bedtime bath experience.
If you’re a serial bad sleeper, we recommend checking out the rest of our sleep-inducing products, including sleep mist and pulse point roller ball. But always speak to a healthcare professional if you’re experiencing serious sleep issues.
Benefit 5: wakes up your senses
On the flip side, bath salts can help to energise and wake up your senses. Natural ingredients like cinnamon and citruses are known for their uplifting and stimulating properties, making them great additions to our blöta Bath Salt – Cinnamon & Tangerine.
Wake up a little earlier than usual and add our bath salts to your morning routine for an energising and refreshing start to your day.

Benefit 6: improves blood circulation
Improved blood circulation doesn’t only help with muscle relaxation, but it also has numerous other benefits for your body.
Better circulation can promote faster healing, boost your immune system, and improve your skin’s appearance. The sea salts in our magnesium-rich bath salts are thought to increase blood flow to the skin, leaving it healthy and glowing.
Benefit 7: regulates oil production
For those with oily or acne-prone skin, bath salts can be a game-changer. The magnesium in salts can help regulate the production of oils in the skin, leading to fewer breakouts on your body and less oily skin.
Benefit 8: nourishes, hydrates, & balances skin
While bath salts are known for their detoxifying properties, they also offer nourishment and hydration to the skin, especially when infused with natural extracts and oils.
Potassium found in our sea salt can even help reduce the appearance of dark spots and blemishes, leaving your skin balanced and radiant.
