Bath: Making Your Own Bath Salts/Crystals 

Making Your Own Bath Salts 

Bath Salts are an easily prepared alternative to the mixtures 
now on the market; most of these chemical-ridden formulas are 
almost guaranteed to irritate your skin. Bath salts are used 
for many different purposes, and they make great gifts when 
packaged in attractive containers. 

The basic ingredients are table salt, baking soda (sodium 
bicarbonate) & Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). 
Some herbalists also use borax. 

Add the salts to a large bowl in these proportions: 
3 parts Epsom salts 
2 parts baking soda 
1 part table salt (or borax) 
Essential (scented, herbal/floral) Oils 

Mix thoroughly using your hands or wooden spoons reserved just for 
this purpose, to stir the ingredients.  This is now the base from 
which you can create a wide variety of bath salts. Its wise to add 
colors to bath salts. Use plain food coloring for this purpose, 
letting it fall drop by drop onto the salt base. 
If two or more colors are required to mix an exotic hue (such as 
purple), mix these in a spoon first and then add to the salts to 
avoid creating a two-toned product, unless of course, you plan on a 
two or three tone salt. 
Add many drops for a darker colored salt; fewer for a lightly hued 
salt. Mix the color into the salts until it is evenly distributed; 
again use your hands or you may use a utensil. 

Now add the essential oils drop by drop, until the scent seems strong 
enough. If you plan on using more then one essential oil then mix 
these together first before adding to the salt.  Use your hands and 
fingertips to mix it together until all salt particles are moistened. 
This may take up to fifteen minutes or longer. 

As to proportions, rely on your sense of smell to determine the exact 
quanties. The more potent the finished products' scent, the less will 
have to be used for each bath. They should be strongly scented. 
To use, add from 2 tablespoons to one-half cup of the bath salts to a 
full tub. Mix with your hands into the water. Enjoy your homemade 
bath salts!

Fragrant Bath Crystals 
To make wonderful fragrant Bath Crystals, place one cup of bath 
crystals in a large glass bowl then add 1/4 teaspoon  Essential oil. 
To make your bath crystals unique and different, add a teaspoon of 
vegetable glycerin. The glycerin adds moisturizing properties for the 
skin and makes the crystals shine like diamonds. 
To use the bath crystals, add 2 tablespoons to your bath. The oils 
will float to the surface of the bath water after the bath crystals 
have dissolved,leaving your skin moisturized from the vegetable 
glycerin and lightly fragranced from the essential oil. 
You can also add 1 teaspoon of powdered herb to this blend to make a 
more natural bath crystal and wonderful for the skin as well. These 
are justbeautiful when packaged in a decorative jar. An idea from us, 
is to wrap thelid with a strand of raffia, tie a bow and then add a 
wooden scoop tied to your tag or lid as a nice touch.
