This product is delightfully good. I have found a notable difference when using this soak. I compared it directly to using a plain Epsom Salt bath. I found that my soreness was lessened when used either the day of, or the day after a workout, and, my (currently injured) shoulder had a notable reduction in inflammation. My skin felt softer and was much less prone to drying out. There is a great amount of the orange oil in the mix, I was compelled to stay in the bath longer, and an unexpected benefit, the potency of my smell while I was at the gym was reduced quite dramatically. When you're on a high protein diet for muscle gain, that's a major plus. It worked remarkably well as an exfoliant also. I will note that I needed to hydrate myself a bit more after baths with this soak, even when I would time the bath the same as a regular epsom soak. I assume it to be from the rate of skin absorption.
