What Epsom Salt Contains

Epsom salt = Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate

• Magnesium sulfate (MgSO): The main chemical compound.

• Water of crystallization (7 HO): Epsom salt is a heptahydrate, meaning each molecule of MgSO is bound to 7 water molecules in the crystal structure.

  • Chemical formula: MgSO7HO sujataconsumer.com+1

Breakdown of Its Chemical Components

When you look at Epsom salt on a molecular level, it consists of:

• Magnesium (Mg) an essential mineral.

• Sulfate (SO) a negatively charged ion made of sulfur and oxygen.

• Water molecules (HO) part of its crystal structure.
  So in essence it contains magnesium, sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen (from the bound water) in a specific crystalline form. sujataconsumer.com+1

In Simple Terms

So an Epsom salt package typically contains:
Mostly magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO7HO)
Essentially only the magnesium, sulfate, and water molecules structured into crystals
Very little else besides maybe trace moisture or dust (depending on grade)
