How are we different?
The former region of the Zechstein Sea in the Netherlands is home to some of the purest natural deposits worldwide. This natural blend of magnesium chloride deposits and trace elements are absorbed exceptionally well by the skin, making these Zechstein magnesium flakes remarkably mild.
The Zechstein mine is located above a mineral-rich brine deposit that stretches from Northern England to the Netherlands, across Germany to Russia. In the sea, which dried up 250 million years ago, the various layers of brine were deposited on top of each other in particular regions. Today, a significant layer of magnesium chloride is located below the Netherlands at a depth of roughly 1600–2000m, far from any form of environmental pollution. The 31% saturated magnesium oil has been extracted by deep drilling and water extraction methods since 1982.
Zechstein magnesium oil, which is obtained directly from the soil, can be used immediately without chemical purification on account of its exceptional quality – a major advantage over magnesium chloride obtained through salt water evaporation. Regular laboratory tests guarantee the high quality of each batch.
For the production of magnesium flakes, magnesium oil is heated to 165°C and converted to solid magnesium chloride hexahydrate. With approximately 47% magnesium chloride bound to crystal water and 120mg pure magnesium per gram, magnesium flakes have the highet magnesium concentration of all products in our range.
Magnesium Flakes
Zechsal Magnesium Flakes
Zechsal Magnesium Flakes contain water and 47% magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is strongly hygroscopic, meaning it binds the moisture in the environment to its lattice structure. Zechsal Magnesium Flakes have the highest magnesium concentration of all forms. Thanks to their high concentration, the flakes are ideal for preparing 1–5% concentrated magnesium chloride foot or full body baths.
Nourishes the Skin
Magnesium is widely known as an essential mineral for overall well-being, but it is also an exceptional ingredient for skincare. Applied directly to the skin, pure Zechstein magnesium brine offers a variety of nourishing properties and is the ideal addition to your daily body care and massage routine.
Supports Skin Hydration & Moisture Balance
When applied topically, magnesium supports the skin's natural barrier function. Regular application helps the skin retain moisture more effectively, counteracts dryness and provides a smooth, nourished feeling.
Calms & Relaxes Stressed Skin
The gentle, oily texture of the concentrated brine offers exceptional glide for massages, which in turn helps relax stressed skin – especially after exercise or physical activity – and promotes calm, balanced skin.

How much pure magnesium do Zechstein Magnesium Flakes contain?
1kg of Zechstein Magnesium Flakes contains 470g of magnesium chloride (of which 25.6% is elemental magnesium). 1kg of Zechstein Magnesium Flakes therefore provides 470g x 25.6% = 120g of pure magnesium. 1g of Zechstein Magnesium Flakes contains 120mg of pure magnesium.
