Pure Soak Bath Therapy
Food-grade Epsom salts blended with pure essential oils for therapeutic bath therapy.
Shop now →The story
The brand's position is unfussy. Epsom salt has documented muscular and dermatological benefits when used at therapeutic concentration (around 250g to 500g per bath). Most fragranced bath salts dilute that to near-zero with fillers and synthetic scent. Pure Soaks keeps the salt as the active ingredient and uses real essential oils at a meaningful concentration to do the secondary work. The Simple Elements food-grade Epsom salt range sits alongside, for people who want the pure salt with no added oils.
A bath salt is only as good as the salt in it. We start with food-grade Epsom and add nothing that does not earn its place.The Pure Soaks Team, South Africa
What makes them different
-
01
Food-Grade Epsom
The base salt is FCC food-grade magnesium sulphate from natural German deposits. Food-grade means it meets specifications for human consumption, well above what is required for a bath product.
-
02
Real Essential Oils
The fragrance comes from genuine essential oils blended in for therapeutic purpose, not synthetic perfume oils added for shelf-appeal. The Bedtime blend uses lavender, the Breathe blend uses eucalyptus and peppermint.
-
03
Therapeutic Concentration
Sold in 2kg buckets so that a single bath gets the 250g to 500g of Epsom needed to actually deliver the magnesium-sulphate effect. Smaller pouches are theatre, not therapy.
-
04
South African Blended
German Epsom salt, South African blending and packing. The brand stays accountable to the South African retail and wellness market that uses the product weekly.

Touring the range
Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.
Plain food-grade Epsom
If you have never used Epsom salt at therapeutic concentration, start with the Simple Elements unscented 1kg or 3kg. One full bath uses 250g to 500g. You will notice the muscle and sleep effect inside two or three baths.
Essential-oil blends
Once you know the salt itself works for you, add an essential-oil blend for the specific job: Bedtime for sleep, Breathe for congestion, Sore Muscle Relief for training recovery.
Foot and joint soaks
For people who do not have a bath or want something targeted, the Foot Soak with peppermint, manuka, and geranium works in a basin. Sore Joint Relief is the bath alternative for joint-pain days.
What the brand stands behind
-
FCC Food-Grade

-
Real Essential Oils
Fragrance comes from genuine essential oils, not synthetic perfume blends. The aromatherapy effect is real, not cosmetic.
-
South African Blended
Blending and packing happens in South Africa. The German Epsom salt is the only imported component.
-
Bulk Bath Sizing
Sold in 2kg and 3kg sizes so a single bath gets the 250g to 500g needed for the magnesium effect.
