Nourishing Bath Soak

Mein Herr Natural Products has just brought out its first range of natural bath salts.

The salt crystals used in our bath salt range are hand harvested sea salt from the West Coast of South Africa. We have also added our beloved Jojoba oil for its fabulous moisturising properties, along with various essential oils.

So what's the big deal with Hand harvesting? Mechanical methods of harvesting salt were originally developed to produce mass quantities of salt for the chemical industry. Machine-harvested salt contains many contaminants due to the harvesting method involving dirty machinery. As a result this salt has to be refined and washed. But this also strips the salt of the rich minerals and micronutrients that make salt an important part of our diet. The product is a salt containing only the compound sodium chloride (NaCl) which is ideal for the chemical industry, but not for human consumption. Fluoride and iodine are added along with anti-caking agents, and this salt is then packaged and sold as "table salts".

Hand harvested salt, on the other hand, is not refined in any way and thus contains all its beneficial minerals, notably Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. Not only does this make it much more healthy for consumption, but it also means that your body benefits when soaking in a bath enriched with Mein Herr bath salts. For a more information about the benefits of hand-harvested sea salt, check out the Ultimate Bath Salt Guide.

Mein Herr Bath Salts come in two different fragrances: Relaxing Tralala and Healing Pocket-Full.

Relaxing Tralala: The Lavender, Rosemary and Patchouli essential oils which give Tralala its distinctive fragrance have a beautifully soothing effect as you soak in these bath salts. Lavender is well-known for its ability to induce sleep. Inhaling Lavender and Rosemary has a calming effect on the nerves, reducing anxiety while stimulating mental activity and combatting mental fatigue. Patchouli, on the other hand, has an uplifting effect. These essential oils are also know to reduce pain. We have enriched these salts with flowers and leaves picked fresh from the garden and then dehydrated.

Healing Pocket-Full: Rose blend, Rose Geranium and Clove Bud essential oils give these bath salts a magnificent floral fragrance with spicy undertones. And the freeze-dried rose petals make your bath-time feel truly luxurious!
What makes a gentle soak in Pocket-Full unique is the ability of these essential oils to heal both the mind and skin. Not only do they speed up the healing of wounds, but also help scars to fade quickly. Notably, Rose Geranium facilitates blood circulation below the skin and distributes melanin uniformly. This is also a circulatory oil which means that it is released through perspiration long after your nourishing soak.

As with all our products, the Mein Herr Bath Salts are all hand made using natural ingredients with no added colourant or preservatives.
