TPG-SSolutions / Stand-up pouches / Bath salts & soaks
Stand-up pouches for bath salts & soaks.
Bath salts clump when they absorb moisture and lose fragrance through thin films. They are also often stored in steamy bathrooms after opening.
What bath salts & soaks packaging has to do.
- 01Moisture barrierEpsom and sea salts absorb humidity and cake. A metallised or foil laminate plus a zipper keeps them free-flowing.
- 02Fragrance retentionEssential oils escape through low-barrier films and can soften some inks and adhesives. Barrier films and compatible laminates matter.
- 03Cosmetic labelingBath salts sold for cleansing or fragrance are cosmetics under the FD&C Act; labels need an ingredient declaration (21 CFR 701.3). Therapeutic claims can make a product a drug.
- 04AbrasionCoarse salt crystals can scuff thin inner layers; a heavier PE seal layer helps.

Questions.
01Why do my bath salts clump in the bag?
They absorb moisture through the film or after opening. A higher-barrier film and a tight zipper reduce it.
02Are bath salts a cosmetic or a drug?
Usually a cosmetic. If you claim they treat a condition, such as relieving muscle pain, FDA may treat the product as a drug.
03Can I use a clear pouch?
Yes, many brands do for the look; expect faster clumping in humid climates than with a metallised pouch.
