Eco Bath London Uplifting Epsom Salt Bath Soak — Frankincense & Mandarin Pouch

The Bath That Wakes You Up and Winds You Down at the Same Time

Frankincense grounds. Mandarin lifts. Together, they create something that's harder to define but immediately recognisable the moment you step into the bath — a sense of clarity and calm that feels genuinely restorative rather than just pleasant. The Eco Bath London Uplifting Epsom Salt Bath Soak combines pure magnesium sulphate with these two essential oils to produce a soak that works on the body and the mind simultaneously.

Frankincense has been used for centuries for its grounding, meditative qualities — it slows the breath, quiets mental noise, and creates a sense of presence. Mandarin brings the counterpoint: bright, citrus-forward, and naturally uplifting without being sharp or synthetic. The combination is particularly effective for those moments when you're mentally fatigued but physically tense — the kind of tired that a standard bath doesn't quite reach.

What the Epsom Salt Does

Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. When dissolved in warm water, magnesium is absorbed through the skin, helping to ease muscle tension, reduce physical fatigue and support recovery after exercise or a demanding day. It also has mild exfoliating properties, leaving skin noticeably softer after use. There are no synthetic additives, fillers or artificial fragrances in this soak — just Epsom salt and essential oils, doing what they've always done.

Available in Two Sizes

The Uplifting Epsom Salt Bath Soak comes in a 500 g pouch and a 1 kg pouch. The 500 g is a good starting point if you're new to the scent, giving you around two full baths to assess whether it suits you. The 1 kg is the better value option for regular use, providing approximately four full baths from a single resealable pouch. Both sizes are packaged in eco-friendly materials, in keeping with Eco Bath London's commitment to sustainability across the range.

How to Use

Add approximately 250 g — roughly two to three generous handfuls — to warm running bath water and allow the salts to dissolve fully before stepping in. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the magnesium to absorb and the essential oils to work. For a foot soak, dissolve 100 g in a basin of warm water and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Use two to three times per week for best results, or as needed after exercise or periods of high stress. Seal the pouch tightly after each use and store in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does frankincense smell like in a bath soak?
Frankincense has a warm, resinous, slightly woody scent — earthy and grounding rather than floral or sweet. In combination with mandarin, the overall effect is bright but anchored: uplifting without being sharp, calming without being heavy. It's a particularly good choice for evening baths or when you need to decompress after a mentally demanding day.

Is this the same as the lavender Epsom salt soak?
No — while both soaks use the same pure Epsom salt base, the essential oil blends are entirely different. The lavender soak is designed for deep relaxation and sleep support. This frankincense and mandarin version is more uplifting and clarifying — better suited to those who find lavender too sedating or who want a more energising aromatherapy experience.

How much should I use per bath?
The recommended dose is 250 g per bath — roughly two to three generous handfuls. A 1 kg pouch gives you approximately four full baths, and the 500 g pouch gives you around two.

Can I use this as a foot soak?
Yes. Dissolve around 100 g in a basin of warm water and soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes. The frankincense and mandarin scent works particularly well in a foot soak, where the warmth of the water helps to release the essential oils more fully.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Epsom salt is generally well tolerated, but essential oils can occasionally cause sensitivity in some individuals. If you have very reactive skin or known sensitivities to frankincense or citrus oils, we recommend starting with a smaller amount and monitoring your skin's response. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin.

How should I store the pouch between uses?
Seal the pouch tightly after each use and store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Avoid leaving the pouch open in a humid bathroom environment, as moisture can cause the salts to clump over time.
