Featuring an herbaceous eucalyptus aroma, this Serotonin Soak is made with magnesium zechstein flakes, French green clay, apple cider vinegar, seaweed extract and essential oils for a relaxing, almost medicinal feeling bath. Between its large flakes (mixed in with tiny salts), green-ish tinge (from algae extract) and no-frills packaging, its appearance may be misleading, but the result is soothing. The brand suggests four scoops in the tub, but we have found less works well too—and results in more baths per pouch. Formulated to reduce inflammation, ease aching muscles and relax the mind, it’s a blissful addition to a bedtime ritual.
