Magnesium Flakes are a magnesium chloride solution, which has been heated up then cooled down to create a hard sheet of highly-concentrated magnesium chloride that is then broken into small pieces to create the ‘flakes’. Epsom Salts, is one of the most common forms of magnesium, with the vast majority being synthetically manufactured for mass market.

Because it is wholly soluble, Magnesium Chloride will efficiently absorb when exposed to the skin.
