Odd packaging -- is this supposed to be oily?
I was so excited to receive this package today, just as I was getting ready to do my twice daily foot soak.  My toe had gotten really badly infected (long story) and is on a very slow road to recovery.  As part of my treatment, I have been soaking in in sea salt or himalayan salt water twice daily.  While my physician guessed by looking at photos (due to the pandemic) that it was a bacterial infection and prescribed antibiotics, as it is healing, I have been concerned about fungus getting underneath the separating nail.  (TMI, I know!)<br /><br />When I opened the Amazon package, I immediately noticed that the package inside was all oily -- even though it wasn't opened.  When I opened the package, I could see that it was oily clumps of salt.  The package does say that it is a "soak" rather than a "salt," and it definitely includes essential oils, so maybe this is how it is supposed to be.  (I had thought it would be granular.)  If this is how it's supposed to be, then the packaging is really poor.  It is a recloseable bag -- but the bag is coated in oil.  This product really should be in a large jar instead.<br /><br />Considering that I was unsure of this product, I decided to try it out on my "good foot."  The product dissolves easily in water, and it did feel nice on my foot -- there was no irritation.  It left my foot feeling very smooth.  The smell while soaking is very strong to me (but I am sensitive to scents). It does smell like tea tree and lemongrass to me. If someone is trying to correct foot odor, this would very effective.<br /><br />I have tried to give my balanced opinion about this product.  I do think, for sure, that if this is the correct consistency of the product, then it should be contained in a jar, rather than a package.
