Frequently asked questions

How much do I use per bath?

Use 250g, about 2 cups, in a warm bath, or 150g for a foot soak.

How many baths does 1kg make?

At 250g per bath, the pouch makes about 4 baths, or about 6 foot soaks at 150g.

Why do the flakes tingle?

A slight tingling can happen the first few times; BetterYou says it should pass with regular use. Stop if irritation occurs.
