Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or fork
- Airtight glass jars or containersl
- Small spray bottle with water
- Rubber gloves (optiona)
Ingredients
- Epsom salt: 2 cups
- Baking soda: 1 cup
- Citric acid: 1/2 cup
- Sea salt: 1/2 cup
- Essential oil: 15-20 drops
- Food coloring: 3-5 drops optional
- Dried flowers or herbs: 2 tablespoons optional
Instructions
- Put Epsom salt in your large bowl.
- Add baking soda and sea salt together.
- Mix everything with your whisk or fork.
- Make sure there are no lumps remaining.
- This base creates the fizzing action later.
- Slowly add citric acid to your mixture.
- Stir it in very carefully and gently.
- Citric acid makes the salts fizz nicely.
- Don't skip this important ingredient at all.
- Add your favorite essential oil drops now.
- Lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint work great here.
- Mix it in really well throughout.
- If you want color, add food coloring.
- Use just a few drops at once.
- Mix until the color spreads evenly everywhere.
- Lightly spray water into the mixture once.
- Mix quickly after each tiny spray only.
- The mixture should feel like damp sand.
- Don't add too much water at once.
- Too much moisture starts the fizzing early.
- Put your bath salts in glass jars.
- Close the lids very tightly right away.
- Store them in a cool, dry place.
- They last for several months this way.
Notes
- Work in a dry environment always today.
- Humidity can start the fizzing reaction early.
- Use fresh citric acid for better results.
- Old citric acid doesn't fizz as well.
- Mix colors and scents to create combinations.
- Try rose with pink food coloring together.
- Use 1/4 cup of salts per bath.
- More isn't always better for your skin.
- Package them in pretty jars for gifts.
- Add a ribbon and handwritten label too.
