How to make Bath Salts

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 1 tablespoon pure cane sugar

  • 2 teaspoons honey, raw 

  • 4 drops lavender essential oil 

  • 1 teaspoon lavender buds

  • 4 lip scrub pots 

THE PROCESS:

step 1:  add 1.5 cups Epsom salt to medium-sized bowl

step 2:  add 6 tablespoons sea salt

step 3: add 1/4 cup baking soda

step 4: (optional) add  1/2 teaspoon blue lake coloring

TIP:  Blue lake coloring is to color the bath water.  You can leave this out of the bath salts if you’d prefer.

step 5: (optional) 1/4 teaspoon silver mica

step 6:  mix well and break up any clumps so that the dry ingredients are a uniform mixture

step 7:  measure out 2 teaspoons of apricot kernel oil into a small bowl

step 8:  add the following essential oils

12 drops sweet orange essential oil (also known as wild orange or orange essential oil)8 drops frankincense essential oil8 drops myrrh essential oil tip:  Prefer to use different essential oils? 

step 9:  (optional) add 1 teaspoon polysorbate 80

TIP:  If you are using the blue lake coloring and/or silver mica, you may want to add 1 teaspoon polysorbate 80 to help distribute the oils and colors in the bath water.  Polysorbate 80 will help the coloring to easily drain from the tub with the bath water.
