Whether you’re a college athlete constantly in training mode, you’re preparing for a marathon or putting in extra work at the gym, you may struggle with sore muscles. Recently, I kicked up my leg workouts a bit ahead of a ski trip and experienced DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) for the first time, and the pain was no joke. I could hardly walk for a week. I used recovery tools like my Theragun Mini and a foam roller, but I wish I had thought to use a bath soak like Hustle Clean’s.

The Hustle Clean Muscle Melt + Relief Soak with Epsom Salt is an all-natural bath soak that helps relieve deeply sore muscles, reduce inflammation and speed up recovery time, according to the product description. This way, your body will feel better faster, so you can move on to your next challenge ASAP.

The soak includes epsom salt, a well-known ingredient for relieving sore muscles, plus magnesium flakes and arnica. Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral salt that dissolves in warm water, releasing magnesium and sulfate. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it’s believed that your body will absorb these ingredients through your skin, although there aren’t any scientific studies to prove this. Nonetheless, integrative medicine specialists often recommend it and the risk of trying it is pretty low. It’s said to relieve muscle pain, reduce inflammation and help relieve mental stress — all good things. The brand also says that its soak is dermatologist-tested and gentle on sensitive skin.

Additionally, the Hustle Clean Muscle Melt + Relief Soak smells amazing. It has natural eucalyptus, rosemary and clary sage essential oils to make your bath smell and feel like a real spa. Once you slink into the bath, you’re bound to feel refreshed, relaxed and maybe even reenergized.

“Most soothing I have ever tried and it also smells fantastic — 10 out of 10!” wrote one reviewer on Target’s website.

“I love my Epsom salts and have tried them all, and routinely go for floats in pods for the full sensory experience,” wrote another Target reviewer. “This is my new favorite for at home, though. Not only does it smell fantastic but it just feels so nice. I even used it after traveling for just my swollen feet and it was amazing. Highly recommend!”

In addition to its muscle melt, Hustle Clean makes antimicrobial and antibacterial body and face wipes to clean, sanitize and deodorize bodies quickly. Former NFL player Justin Forsett and his two former UC Berkeley teammates, Wale Forrester and Wendell Hunter, founded the brand. Post-college, Forrester became a firefighter, and Hunter played briefly in the NFL before becoming an EMT and ER technician. Their service as first responders led them to create a brand that helps people “on and off the field,” according to Hustle Clean’s about page.

Hustle Clean’s Free Play sports scholarship program provides funds, sports equipment, uniforms and more to underserved youth. The brand also created #ShowerToThePeople and works with other non-profits to donate hygiene products to communities that lack access to clean water, like Flint, Mich., and areas of Texas following Hurricane Harvey.

Purchasing the Hustle Clean Muscle Melt + Relief Soak with Epsom Salt will do your body good and help do good for the community.
