One family’s mission to help manage their son’s eczema naturally became a quest to make high quality magnesium-rich salts accessible and affordable to all.
Established in 2004, Westlab have become the UK’s leading experts for pure mineral salts.
Westlab provides premium quality pure mineral salts at consistently great prices by working directly with our suppliers, coupled with a no-fuss approach to packaging.
This philosophy has resulted in a trusted loyalty to the brand, from a wide ranging customer demographic including health conscious individuals, parents, health professionals, A-list celebrities and professional athletes.
We’ve been using their products in our home for a few years now as they are highly effective and affordable. While I was at the Love Natural Love You event back in July, I came across their stand and chatted to a lovely lady there. They had just launched some new products so she kindly gifted me some products.

I know that I’m low in magnesium (most of us are) so I always have bags of magnesium flakes stocked at home. Westlab magnesium flakes are a regular for us as I trust the quality and the prices are great.
Stress depletes our body of magnesium so having regular baths with magnesium flakes helps to relax the body – ease stress, anxiety and restore magnesium into the body as it is absorbed by the skin.
Magnesium helps to create serotonin (the body’s natural ‘feel good’ chemical), which elevates the mind making us calm and relaxed.
Whenever I can get time to myself without any interruption I always enjoy a 20 minute soak in the bath with magnesium flakes before bedtime. At other times a 20 minute foot soak does the job. I feel like I have a mind-shift, it leaves me very calm and relaxed which enables me to sleep better.
