10 REASONS
Women in Perimenopause Are
Taking Baths Again

UPDATED 2 DAYS AGO Verified
“I can’t tell you how many women have told me they stopped taking baths. That’s exactly why it matters what you’re sitting in.” - Greg Macdonald, Founder, Bathorium

1. Perimenopause starts earlier than anyone tells you

1. Perimenopause starts earlier than anyone tells you

In a 2025 study in npj Women’s Health, 55.4 percent of women aged 30 to 35 reported moderate to severe menopause-related symptoms. Yet many women don’t seek treatment until their mid-fifties. If something feels different, it’s worth paying attention to.

2. The nights are the part nobody warns you about

2. The nights are the part nobody warns you about

Sleep disruption and anxiety can be part of the perimenopause experience, and psychological symptoms may appear before women realize hormones could be involved.

For many Bathorium customers, a magnesium bath is part of the ritual they reach for when winding down feels harder than usual.

3. Sometimes the simplest thing helps

3. Sometimes the simplest thing helps

A review of 13 clinical studies found that warm bathing one to two hours before bed helped people fall asleep about 36 percent faster. No complicated routine. No appointment. Just warm water, a little time, and permission to stop.

4. So why did baths disappear from your routine?

4. So why did baths disappear from your routine?

Maybe they became uncomfortable. Maybe your skin started feeling tight or itchy afterward. Maybe you became more conscious of what you were soaking in.

You never really decided to stop. The bath just quietly disappeared.

5. It was never the bath. It was what was in the water

5. It was never the bath. It was what was in the water

Dyes. Synthetic fragrance. The foaming agents that make bubbles. A warm bath opens the whole surface of your skin to whatever you poured in, for twenty minutes at a time. A Bathorium soak is mineral salts, plant milks and pure essential oils. That is the whole ingredient list.

8. What you soak in matters

No synthetic fragrance. No artificial dyes. No SLS. Bathorium soaks are made with essential oils, botanicals, mineral salts and skin-loving ingredients instead. Founder Greg Macdonald says it simply: “You shouldn’t be sitting in red food dye.”

9. Your skin is more reactive now, so every formula is pH-balanced

9. Your skin is more reactive now, so every formula is pH-balanced

As estrogen begins to fall in perimenopause, skin can hold less moisture and turn drier and more easily irritated. Every Bathorium formula is pH-balanced, and the Milk Mineral Bath Soak is the gentlest in the range. Greg Macdonald says it is the main reason people choose Bathorium.

10. The full ritual, backed for 30 days

Midnight Superbloom Crush Soak

About two hours before bed. Warm rather than hot, roughly twenty minutes. That timing is what the sleep research points to.
Every Bathorium formula is pH-balanced and made without synthetic fragrance, dyes or SLS. The Milk Mineral Bath Soak is the gentlest if your skin has turned reactive.
Real essential oils, never synthetic fragrance, and all eight are different. Floral and quiet, woodsy and grounding, or fresh and reviving.
The soaks dissolve into the water as you bathe. A quick rinse afterward and you are done.

I felt like I was at a luxury spa

I was hesitant because of the price, but after using the soaks I totally get it. I felt like I was at a luxury spa, and I was so soft afterwards I did not even need lotion.

Both, and it starts earlier than most women are told. In a 2025 study in npj Women’s Health, 55.4 percent of women aged 30 to 35 already reported moderate to severe symptoms. If sleep, mood or skin has shifted, this page is for you.

A review of 13 clinical trials found warm bathing one to two hours before bed helped people fall asleep about 36 percent faster, and improved sleep quality. The timing is the part most people get wrong.

Two reasons. Very hot water blunts the natural cooling drop that helps you fall asleep, and it strips a skin barrier that is already thinner than it was. Warm water, about twenty minutes.

It means every formula is made to sit close to the skin’s own pH rather than swinging alkaline the way heavily foaming products do. Founder Greg Macdonald formulates the entire range this way, including the children’s line, and he will tell you it is the main reason customers choose Bathorium.

There is no strong evidence that it does, so we do not claim it. Hinoki is pure magnesium chloride and the Crush soaks are a mineral and Epsom salt base. What we stand behind is how the water feels and how your skin feels afterward.

Very likely. Skin loses around 30 percent of its collagen in the first five years after menopause and roughly 2 percent a year after. Thinner and quicker to react. It is also why what goes in the water stopped being a small decision.

The Crush 8-Pack. Eight single-use soaks means eight different nights before you commit to a favorite. Add the Hinoki Magnesium Bath Flakes if the nights you need help are the hard ones, and the Milk Mineral Bath Soak if your skin is the loudest complaint.

You have 30 days. If your first soak does not leave your skin feeling softer and your mind feeling calmer, write to info@bathorium.com and we will make it right.
