Magnesium Chloride Flakes

Magnesium chloride is a mineral salt used in cosmetic formulations and bath products.

Key benefits

Highly soluble for easy preparation of mineral solutions
Suitable for bath, soak, and topical mineral formulations
Clean, consistent flake format for reliable batching
Versatile across both bulk and formational use.

Behaviour in formulations

Magnesium chloride fully dissolves in water and contributes to the ionic strength of the
solution.

At higher concentrations, it can influence viscosity, skin feel, and compatibility with other ingredients.

Add flakes to water with mixing until fully dissolved. Warm water may be used to accelerate dissolution.
