Can I mix up the sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate in a single bucket and still have it mix super quickly?

I know a lot of people buy this to avoid stratification -- but for now I'm not thinking about that. I'm wondering how reasonable it is to store the solids together in a single bucket. Would this cause other unforeseen issues or have worse stratification issues than standard salt? I'm wondering why the two are separate in the first place.

I'm not sure what else may be in those mixtures which might be an issue, but there is no problem mixing pure sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate, either as dry powders or as liquid solutions.
