Yes Epsom salt will make water colder because it uses the water's natural heat energy to split apart ionic bonds of magnesium and sulfate. At this point the solution would be considered endothermic because more heat energy is being used than is being produced. This is why Epsom salts are used to soak a sprained ankle and to draw heat out of an injury.
