Dr. Teal’s and the Secret Life of Your Soak: What Your Bath Might Be Missing
February 10, 2025 | By Mom Bomb Team
We all love a long soak in the tub after a busy day—candles lit, bubbles floating, a moment to breathe. And for many of us, a bag of Dr. Teal’s bath salts is the trusted companion. But what’s really in that tub when you dissolve those salts?
Many mass-market bath salts, including familiar brands like Dr. Teal’s, contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, and preservatives that can subtly interfere with your body’s natural rhythms. These ingredients help keep products stable and smelling consistent on store shelves, but they may have unexpected effects on your body.
The Secret Ingredients Hiding in Your Soak
Some of the most common compounds you may be soaking in include:
- Phthalates – Often hidden under “fragrance,” linked to hormonal disruption.
- Parabens – Preservatives that can mimic estrogen in the body.
- Triclosan – Found in some antibacterial products, may influence thyroid function.
Signs Your Bath Could Be Working Against You
- Unexpected mood swings
- Worsened PMS symptoms
- Dry or irritated skin
- Chronic fatigue or brain fog
- Difficulty sleeping despite a long soak
How to Upgrade Your Bath Ritual
You don’t need to give up bath time—you just need to make smart swaps. Look for products that are:
- Fragrance-free or scented with pure essential oils
- Paraben-free and phthalate-free
- Made with high-quality magnesium sulfate for real relaxation
