BATH SALTS

Our newest addition

Expertly formulated to purify and nourish the skin, while leaving both mind and body feeling soothed and revitalised, this beneficial blend is infused with a calming 100% natural trio of ESSENTIALS OILS – a signature fragrance blend inspired by the natural flora and botanicals growing at the Heckfield Estate in Hampshire.

INSIDE BATH SALTS

Expertly formulated

Packed with beneficial minerals including Magnesium and Potassium, a SEA SALT base helps to deeply cleanse, refresh and rebalance, drawing out impurities and softening dry skin.

Generous levels of LINDEN, ROMAN CHAMOMILE and CEDARWOOD essential oils encourage a deep sense of calm, soothing body and mind. Moisturising CALENDULA EXTRACT helps to soothe skin while providing anti-inflammatory benefits.

The addition of VITAMIN E softens, soothes and helps strengthen the skin barrier.

THE SCIENCE OF BATHING

A tonic for body and mind

Hear from our Head of Education, Kim Cochrane, who discusses the science and benefits behind bathing:

  • Time your bath wisely – soaking in a warm bath naturally increases body temperature, but triggers a drop when you get out. This core temperature change encourages release of the natural sleep hormone melatonin, which works alongside the body’s circadian rhythm to encourage deep sleep.


  • Water temperature is key – while it’s tempting to steep in a hot bath, if the water is too hot it can strip the natural oils from the skin, leaving it dry and prone to irritation.

  • It doesn’t have to take long – just ten to fifteen minutes is enough to absorb the benefits of the water and essential oils infused in WILDSMITH BATH SALTS.
