Three mineral salts from Kneipp bring nature's luxury to your guests' salt soak experience.

For guests looking to go as natural as possible, Kneipp offers a trio of mineral salts that not only contain natural elements but are sourced from nature's waters. Unlike Epsom Salts that are manmade, Kneipp Mineral Bath Salts are sourced from ancient waters in Germany's Saline Luisenhall, 1,500 feet below the Earth’s surface. This natural, thermal spring is free of chemical additives and environmental influences, producing salt in its purest form.
These salts contain diverse trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, and zinc, helping to alleviate soreness while offering the added benefits of detoxification, skin healing, and total body renewal. The unique crystalline structure of mineral salts allows each crystal to absorb more essential oil than ordinary Epsom Salt, delivering a more concentrated and effective aromatherapy experience with less product.
A power-packed blend of essential oils and Arnica Extract to loosen up and revive tired muscles, Arnica Bath Salt is the brand's #1 bestseller. It provides the perfect plant-based solution to caring for overworked joints and muscles after a workout or anytime. It works to:

Aid recovery. A warm bath has long been known as an invaluable recovery tool for active individuals. The Arnica extract, known for its calming and soothing effects, can help to further support any post-workout ritual.

Offering a peaceful retreat for guests to experience deep relaxation for both the body and mind, Lavender Salt helps guests decompress and unwind after a stressful day. When added to warm water, the familiar floral aroma fills the air, mentally transporting guests to a serene lavender field in southern France for a moment of tranquility. The soak:
Balances. A blend of lavender and camphor essential oils help lift the spirits and restore balance after a long, stress-filled day.
Eases restlessness. A warm bath is a valuable addition to a bedtime ritual. Deeply relaxing lavender is renowned for its ability to help encourage restful sleep.
Detoxes. The pure, uncontaminated thermal spring salt gently cleanses the skin and helps support the body’s natural detoxification process.
