Basically? What is the difference between epsom salts and bath salts? The price! Heck with the perfumed salts, from the Red Sea Salts. Oh I know. People say you get what you pay for. You can also get gouged like the big oil companies are doing. Epsom salts/bath salts pay $.05 an ounce, $.80 a pound with shipping. Do the math. So many consumers are paying for their anti-freeze, weed-grass killer,etc. to be premixed[add water]. Add some perfume to your epsom salts and charge gazillions more for it. When will people wake up? Wish I would have thought of it!
