Have you ever wondered where your bath products come from? Not just where they are made, but also what goes into them and how they are created? At Eco Bath London, everything revolves around conscious self-care: good for your body and kind to the planet. In this blog, we take you behind the brand and introduce two absolute favourites: Epsom salts and body brushing.
The Story Behind Eco Bath London
Eco Bath London started small, with a market stall at the iconic Camden Market in London. Founder Enver, who grew up on a farm in southern Turkey, comes from a family that has cultivated loofahs in a traditional way for generations. What began as a passion for natural materials and craftsmanship grew into a sustainable bath and lifestyle brand that is now loved worldwide.
Together with his wife Sebnem, Enver still runs Eco Bath London as a family business. Their mission? To create high-quality, environmentally conscious products that turn your daily bathroom routine into a moment of calm and relaxation – whether you have a bathtub or only a shower.
Eco Bath London is known for:
- Plastic-free alternatives to everyday bath products
- Biodegradable and sustainably sourced materials
- Eco-friendly packaging made from paper and recycled materials
- Continuous innovation to keep the ecological footprint as small as possible
According to Eco Bath, a product is only truly sustainable when everything is right – from raw material to packaging.
The Power of Epsom Salt: An Age-Old Ritual
One of the most popular products from Eco Bath London is without a doubt Epsom salt. These natural mineral salts (magnesium sulphate) have been used for centuries and are completely chemical-free and eco-friendly.
What makes Epsom salt so special?
- Relaxes muscles and joints
- Helps relieve stress and tension
- Supports detoxification
- Softens the skin
- Promotes a good night’s sleep
A warm bath with Epsom salt is perfect after an intense workout, a long workday, or whenever you simply need to unwind.
How to Use Epsom Salt
- Fill the bathtub with warm water
- Add about 250 grams of Epsom salt
- Relax for 15–20 minutes and let the minerals do their work
Epsom salt can also be used for:
- Foot baths (for tired feet and foot odour)
- Soothing skin irritations such as sunburn
- Reducing inflammation, for example with arthritis
Fun fact: Epsom salt was discovered in 1618 in Epsom, England, when a shepherd noticed that wounds on his cows healed faster after soaking in mineral-rich water. Fortunately, you no longer need to travel to England to enjoy this soothing ritual.
Body Brushing: A Simple Boost for Your Skin
Alongside bath salts, body brushing is a popular part of a natural self-care routine. This centuries-old technique takes just a few minutes a day and offers surprisingly many benefits.
Why body brushing?
- Stimulates blood circulation
- Activates the lymphatic system (waste removal)
- Removes dead skin cells
- Makes the skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant
- Helps body lotion absorb better
It doesn’t just feel good – it works.
How to Body Brush Properly
- Use a body brush on clean, dry skin
- Start at your feet and work towards the heart
- Use short strokes with light pressure
- Avoid irritated or damaged skin
- Rinse the brush after use and let it air-dry naturally
The best moment? Either just before showering or right after.
