Eco Bath London Detox Epsom Salt Bath Soak Tube

The Bath That Actually Clears You Out

The Eco Bath London Detox Epsom Salt Bath Soak is built around a single, sharp idea: grapefruit cuts through. Where the Uplifting soak balances and the Muscle & Joint soak recovers, this one purges — the bright, clean citrus of grapefruit essential oil combined with the transdermal magnesium absorption of Epsom salt to leave both skin and mind feeling genuinely cleaner than when you got in.

Grapefruit is one of the most effective essential oils for a detox-focused bath. Its naturally occurring limonene gives it a sharp, clean quality that feels actively cleansing rather than simply pleasant. Paired with magnesium sulphate — which draws out impurities through the skin while softening and smoothing the surface — the result is a bath that does something, rather than just smelling nice.

Available in a 250 g or 1 kg tube. The 250 g provides approximately one full bath; the 1 kg provides approximately four.

Key Features

Grapefruit essential oil
Grapefruit essential oil has a sharp, clean, citrus character that is distinctly different from sweeter citrus oils like mandarin or orange. It is associated with clarity, purification, and mental alertness — making this soak as effective for the mind as it is for the skin.

Pure magnesium sulphate base
Epsom salt absorbs transdermally during bathing to support the body's natural detoxification processes, ease muscle tension, and leave skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Cleansing and skin-softening
The magnesium in Epsom salt helps to draw out impurities and soften the skin's surface, while the grapefruit oil provides an invigorating, purifying scent that reinforces the detox effect.

Available in 250 g and 1 kg
The 250 g tube provides approximately one full bath; the 1 kg tube provides approximately four — better value for regular use.

Sustainably sourced & eco-friendly
Made by Eco Bath London with a commitment to responsible, environmentally conscious sourcing throughout the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this soak smell like?
Sharp, clean, and distinctly citrus — grapefruit has a more bitter, cutting quality than sweeter citrus oils like mandarin or orange. It smells actively cleansing rather than sweet or floral, which is exactly the point for a detox soak.

How does this differ from the Uplifting soak?
Both use a magnesium sulphate base, but the essential oil blends serve different purposes. The Uplifting soak uses frankincense and mandarin for mood and mental clarity — it is warmer and more balanced. The Detox soak uses grapefruit for a sharper, more purifying effect — it is cleaner and more invigorating. Choose based on whether you want to lift your mood or actively cleanse.

How does this differ from the Muscle & Joint soak?
The Muscle & Joint soak uses peppermint, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and black pepper for physical recovery. The Detox soak uses grapefruit for skin purification and mental clarity. If your priority is sore muscles, choose Muscle & Joint. If your priority is feeling clean and clear, choose Detox.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Grapefruit essential oil can be sensitising for some skin types, particularly in high concentrations. At the recommended 250 g dose in a full bath, the dilution is significant. If you have reactive skin, patch test before full use and avoid use on broken or irritated skin.

How much should I use per bath?
250 g per bath is the recommended amount. The 250 g tube provides approximately one bath; the 1 kg tube provides approximately four.

Can I use this in the morning?
Yes. The grapefruit scent is sharp and invigorating rather than sedating, making this soak well suited to a morning bath or any time you need to feel alert and refreshed rather than relaxed and sleepy.
