Bath salts

Monday, May 4, 2009 at 7:46 AM

6 Cups Epsom Salts


6 Cups Sea Salt

2/3 Cups baking soda

A few drops of Essential Oils and Food Coloring is optional

To make a sandal wood musk bath salt use 14 drops of sandal wood essential oil and 10 drops vanilla musk oil with 6 drops of chamomile.

A delightful citrus bath can be made using
10 drops bergamot,

10 drops orange,

5 drops grapefruit,

2 drops lemon

5 drops honeydew.


Whichever kind of bath salts you are making you will want to mix the salts and baking soda in a bowl very well. Divide the mixture up between several small bowls to create a fun layered look in your container. For best results mix your coloring and essential oil separately to each bowl. After letting the bowls sit for 24 hours you can add a scoopful to your container. You can make Vanilla, Strawberry and Orange Bath salts and layer them alternately in a sundae dish for a fun gift idea or layer them in a glass pasta jar and tie a wooden scoop on with a piece of raffia or ribbon. Use peppermint essential oil and red and pink food-coloring to make a candy cane bath salt. You can even layer the salts in a recycled old plastic candy cane that you find candy sold in at Christmas time!
