As someone with extreme sensitivity to fragrances, finding a truly unscented Epsom salt felt like searching for a unicorn. Most 'unscented' brands still left me sneezing - until I discovered SaltWorks. That first bath was revolutionary. The medium grains dissolved instantly in warm water without any perfume-y assault on my senses.

I use this religiously every Tuesday and Friday night after my nursing shifts. Two cups in a steaming bath transforms my cramped muscles (12 hours on concrete floors is no joke). Within minutes, I can actually feel the tension leaving my shoulders - it's like someone turned down the volume on my body aches.

The 5lb bag lives in my tiny bathroom cabinet with zero odor leakage (huge win for apartment living). Pro tip: I repurposed an old cookie jar with a 1-cup measure taped inside for mess-free pouring. Would I love a built-in spout? Absolutely. But watching those pristine white crystals cascade into the tub is weirdly satisfying.

Bonus discovery: When I sprained my wrist gardening last month, alternating Epsom soaks with ice reduced swelling twice as fast as ice alone. My physical therapist actually nodded approvingly when I told her.

For fellow fragrance-phobes: There's the faintest mineral scent if you literally bury your nose in the bag, but nothing like the perfumed betrayal of other brands. This is what purity feels like.
