Description

Not everyone has a bathtub, or the time and energy to run an Epsom salt bath after a long day. UltraPure’s Epsom Salt Gel puts magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) into a leave-on gel you massage into muscles and joints instead, alongside Arnica Montana flower extract and aloe vera.

Using it

Start with clean, dry skin.
Apply generously and massage it into the muscles and joints you want to focus on.
Leave it on for at least two hours. It is not meant to be rinsed off.

UltraPure describes the gel as lightweight, fast-absorbing and non-greasy. It is fragrance free, and the 200 ml tube fits in a gym bag or travel kit.

Full ingredients

Aqua, Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate Ph.Eur), Alcohol Denat., Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Glycerine, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice), Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Denatonium Benzoate. Read this through if you have known allergies; it contains alcohol and arnica.

Who it suits

Adults and children aged 7 and over. People who like a massage routine after runs, walks, training or a long active day often reach for something like this. Much of the comfort may come from the massage itself, and that is fine.

Safety notes

External use only. Keep it away from your eyes.
Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
Not for children under 7, or anyone allergic to any ingredient.
Stop if irritation develops. Store somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children.

UltraPure advises seeking professional advice if muscle or joint symptoms are severe or persistent. A joint that is hot, red and swollen, or pain after an injury that will not take weight, needs to be seen. GTIN 5391510477402.
