Magnesium sulfate is a common pharmaceutical preparation of magnesium as Epsom salt, for external and internal use. However, in cosmetics, it is usually mixed with lipids in lotions, which prevents its dissolution in water. Studies show that magnesium is not absorbed through the skin and that absorption is a function of the carrier and possibly concentration and temperature. Epsom salt is also used in bath salts.

When taken orally, magnesium sulfate is often used as an osmotic cathartic, and is the main preparation for intravenous magnesium administration.
