The Soak That Works: Why Zechstein Magnesium Flakes Deserve a Spot in Your Self-Care Routine

Looking for a better way to unwind after a long day? If you’re managing sore muscles, high stress, or restless sleep, your bath routine might need an upgrade.

At Keem Keem, we use Zechstein magnesium flakes—a high-potency, skin-friendly mineral sourced from deep beneath the Earth's surface. They're the active ingredient in our Restore Bath Soak, designed to deliver fast, full-body relief that goes far beyond Epsom salt.

What Are Zechstein Magnesium Flakes?

Zechstein magnesium chloride flakes come from the ancient Zechstein seabed, located over 1,500 meters underground in the Netherlands. This source is untouched by modern pollutants and is considered the purest form of magnesium chloride available for topical use.

These flakes are highly concentrated and deliver therapeutic benefits through transdermal absorption—meaning your skin drinks in the minerals directly, without going through the digestive system.

Benefits of Zechstein Magnesium Flakes

1. Deep Muscle Recovery

Magnesium helps regulate calcium within muscle cells, which supports the relaxation of tight, cramping, or overworked muscles.

2. Stress and Anxiety Relief

By boosting magnesium levels, your nervous system shifts into a more parasympathetic (calm) state, helping you de-stress and sleep deeper.

3. Fast, Effective Absorption

Unlike supplements, magnesium chloride is quickly absorbed through the skin—making it ideal for people who struggle with digestion or want quicker results.

4. Gentle on Skin

Zechstein flakes are well-suited for sensitive or dry skin. They help maintain hydration and can ease discomfort from conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

5. Supports Detoxification

Magnesium plays a role in flushing out toxins and supporting liver function, making baths a valuable tool in your weekly reset.

Why Epsom Salt Falls Short

Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is commonly used in baths—but it’s not always the most effective option. Here’s how it compares:

• Lower absorption: Magnesium sulfate doesn’t absorb as efficiently as magnesium chloride

• Short-lived effects: Relief often wears off quickly

• Less purity: Store-bought Epsom salt may contain fillers or additives

• Can cause irritation: It may leave sensitive skin dry or itchy

If you're looking for long-term results and real therapeutic benefits, Zechstein flakes are the superior choice.

Why We Use Zechstein Magnesium in Our Restore Bath Soak

At Keem Keem, we believe in using ingredient-backed formulations that actually work. That’s why our Restore Bath Soak features Zechstein magnesium chloride paired with arnica extract—a plant-based anti-inflammatory used to soothe joints, ease muscle tension, and support recovery.

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, emotional stress, or just need a good night’s sleep, Restore was built to help you feel better—fast.

How to Use It

• Fill your bathtub with warm water

• Add 1–2 handfuls of Zechstein magnesium flakes (or Restore Bath Soak)

• Soak for 20–30 minutes

• Relax, breathe deeply, and let your body absorb the benefits

This isn’t just a bath—it’s a recovery ritual for your muscles, mind, and mood.

Final Thoughts

Not all baths are created equal. Zechstein magnesium flakes offer a pure, powerful alternative to Epsom salt—one that actually delivers results. From muscle relief to stress reduction and skin support, they’re the self-care essential your routine has been missing.
