Why are magnesium flakes and different salts different colors?

Why Magnesium Flakes Are a Game Changer for Your Wellness Routine

Introduction

Magnesium flakes have finally hit it big, and for good reason. More and more people are soaking in them, making their own magnesium oil, and reaping the benefits. But have you ever wondered why magnesium flakes can vary in color from one brand to another? Let’s dive into the fascinating world of magnesium and uncover the secrets behind these natural wonders.

The Science Behind the Color

Just like essential oils, carrier oils, butters, waxes, and salts, the color, scent, and texture of magnesium flakes can change depending on where and how they’re sourced. Factors such as the region of growth, climate, and time of year harvested play a role. But do these variations affect the benefits of the product? Generally, no. However, regional differences can make certain products stand out more, like the famously superior lavender from France.

Why Are Dead Sea Flakes White?

We often see Dead Sea Flakes as pure white crystals. This is because they come from the Dead Sea, a place known for its intense sun and white sand beaches, which naturally bleach the minerals. But what about magnesium flakes from other regions?

Introducing Our Utah Magnesium Chloride Flakes

Practicality now offers Magnesium Chloride Flakes from Utah, US. You might notice that these flakes have a tan color. Why? They come from a lake bed with soil instead of sand. The sun isn’t as intense year-round, so the flakes don’t get bleached. This doesn’t mean they’re dirty; it just means they carry a bit of residue from the soil. Yes, your magnesium gel might be darker, but that’s because you’re using a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to water.

Why Switch to Pure Magnesium Chloride Flakes?

Here’s the kicker: our Magnesium Chloride Flakes boast 98% magnesium chloride, compared to Dead Sea Salts, which offer only 53% magnesium chloride. This dramatic difference means you’ll feel increased muscle relaxation, pain relief, mood enhancement, and better transdermal absorption when you use them.

What About Other Salts?

Did you know Himalayan Sea Salts actually come from Pakistan? Their pink color comes from the iron-rich soil and sea bed, which causes the salts to rust. This doesn’t make them any less beneficial. They offer unique health benefits compared to regular table salt.

Then there’s Celtic Sea Salt, that beautiful little salty thing from France. Its greyish color comes from the sand, soil, and clay in the sea where it’s extracted. And yes, we need our Celtic Sea Salt for its unique minerals.

In Summary

So, what have we learned, class? The color of our salts doesn’t matter as much as the benefits they provide. Always look for the action of the product and the natural, good-for-you stuff. When deciding on what to purchase, focus on the results you want and buy from a reputable company. Purity matters.

That’s it for this one. Thanks for reading, and we’ll meet again soon.
