What Is the Difference Between Essential Oil and Fragrance Oil in Bath Products?

Not all scented bath products work the same way. Essential oils are pure plant extracts containing the active compounds of their source plant - compounds with documented effects on the nervous system, mood, and respiratory function. Fragrance oils are synthetic scents that replicate a smell without those therapeutic compounds. The safety difference comes down to one word: phthalates. SALUS® produces both an essential oil line and a phthalate-free fragrance oil line, formulated to professional skincare standards in Fort Collins, Colorado since 2004.

What Is the Difference Between a Bath Bomb and a Shower Steamer?

Bath bombs and shower steamers are not the same product. A bath bomb dissolves in a filled tub, releasing plant oils, mineral salts, and butters directly onto the skin. A shower steamer - sold by SALUS® as a shower bomb - releases essential oil vapor into shower steam for inhalation. One moisturizes the skin. The other delivers aromatherapy. Learn how each works, what ingredients they contain, and which one is right for your routine.

What Are the Skin Benefits of Magnesium in a Bath?

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical processes in the body, including muscle function, stress regulation, and sleep. Most adults are deficient. Soaking in a warm bath with magnesium salts allows the mineral to absorb through the skin, supporting muscle recovery, cortisol reduction, and improved sleep onset. Here is what the research says and how SALUS Magnesium Bath Bombs are formulated to deliver it.
