I became curious, so looked up the ingredients of both the Epsom IT lotion and CVS':

Epsom It:

Epsom-It Ingredients:
Water, Magnesium Sulfate (epsom salt), Cyclomethicone, Dimethiconol, PPG/PEG- 18/18 Dimethicone, Glycerin, Methyl Salicylate, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Proplparaben, Capsicum.
from their website:

CVS Epsom lotion:

The only difference I see is that Epsom It ...has methyl salicyclate in it (an aspirin analog).

Also Epsom It appears much more expensive, but there are places competing...
