Moonlit Billabong – Magnesium Herbal Bath Infusion

Moonlit Billabong contains a small, purposeful selection of ingredients — each chosen for its traditional use and sensory contribution.

Magnesium Chloride
A highly soluble form of magnesium commonly used in bath soaks to create a mineral-rich bathing experience.

Avena sativa (Gluten-tested Oats)
Traditionally used in baths for their soothing, softening qualities on the skin.

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)
A herb long associated with calm and nervous system support in traditional herbal practice.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Widely used in evening rituals for its gentle, calming aroma and skin-comforting properties.

Butterfly Blue Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea)
Adds a subtle visual element and has a history of use in botanical infusions.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Traditionally associated with relaxation and nighttime routines.

Jilungin (Terminalia canescens)
An Australian native plant traditionally used in Aboriginal wellness practices.

Strawberry Gum (Eucalyptus olida)
An Australian native with a soft, grounding aroma that complements evening use.

All botanicals are used as whole plant material, not extracts, essential oils or fragrances.

Preparation

• Dose

Pour the herbs into the muslin bag provided for steeping and the salts into the bath once its drawn.

• Pre-infusion (optional but recommended):

Steep herbs in 1 litre of boiling water for 10 minutes, and pour into your bath. This extracts more of the active compounds. Squeeze the bag whilst soaking to continue in creating a more potent soak.

• Bath soak time

Soak 20–30 minutes in hot but comfortable water. This ensures better transdermal absorption.

Magnesium bath soaks are commonly used as part of evening routines to help the body unwind after physical or emotional exertion. When dissolved in warm water, magnesium chloride contributes to a mineral-rich bathing environment that many people associate with relaxation and muscle ease.

The botanical components infuse the bath with gentle herbal compounds and aromatics, creating a sensory experience that supports rest, calm, and nervous system settling — without synthetic fragrance.

Moonlit Billabong works by:

• Creating a warm, mineral-dense soak environment
• Encouraging stillness and intentional rest
• Supporting evening rituals and sleep-adjacent routines
• Offering a grounding sensory experience through whole botanicals

This soak is designed for use at night or during periods of fatigue, when the body is seeking calm rather than stimulation.

Your skin is your largest organ, acting as a barrier and a filter for everything it encounters. It absorbs not only moisture and nutrients but also chemicals and toxins found in synthetic soaps and skincare products. When you choose natural soaps, you ensure that your skin is nourished by wholesome ingredients that respect its integrity, rather than harsh, artificial substances that can disrupt its balance and health. Making the switch to natural options supports not only your skin’s wellbeing but also your overall health, allowing you to embrace the pure benefits of nature’s bounty.

Gently cleanses while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving skin soft, comfortable, and lightly scented.
