Creating your own bath salts is quite simple and won’t take a lot of time out of your day. Surprisingly, bath salts are relatively inexpensive to make and require no harsh ingredients. In fact, the main ingredients in bath salts are baking soda, table salt and epsom salt. These can all be found at a local grocery store and are safe to use. Some bath products, which are found in the marketplace, may contain harsh ingredients that could irritate the skin. However, by purchasing bath salts carefully or making them yourself, you will have the peace of mind in knowing that your bath salts are perfectly safe to use.

Start with a large mixing bowl and a spoon or other utensil. Add 3 cups of epsom salt, 2 cups of baking soda and 1 cup of table salt into the bowl. When all ingredients are added, begin mixing them with your hand or a spoon. Next, slowly add food coloring of your choice to the mixture. Regular food coloring will work perfectly and should be added according to the color that you desire. If you want a dark color, continue to add drops until the color is achieved. If you want a lighter hue, add fewer drops. If, on the other hand, you need to combine multiple colors to achieve the desired tone, mix them prior to adding them to the bowl. Otherwise, you may end up with multi-colored salts.

Finally, after your coloring is added and mixed evenly using a spoon or other utensil, begin to add essential oils until the desired scent is achieved. The best way to determine is simply by using your own judgement. Bath salts should be strongly scented because less salts will be required for each bath, which will enable them to last longer.

Using the steps and ingredients outlined above, you can also use a bowl with a lid and shake the mixture, food coloring and essential oils until it is perfectly combined. This will save you time from stirring but, otherwise, the procedures are the same.

Bath salts are inexpensive, easy and fun to make. But, they are also fun to use. Bath salts are perfect to make for yourself or to give as a gift to friends and family. After a long day at work, taking care of the family or running errands, there is nothing like a luxurious bath to wash away your cares and all of the stress deriving from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Bath salts contain soothing scents and comfort that will leave you feeling refreshed and full of life.

If you’ve already made a basic bath salt, but you want to produce a more professional product, you’ll love these simple techniques. They’ll make your bath salts less “homebrew” and more spa-quality. Once you start using them, you will feel more confident giving your handmade bath salts as gifts or presenting them for sale at a store or craft fair.
All of these techniques are just twists or extensions on what you already know. Doing them takes no more time than putting together basic bath salts.
1) The “secret” ingredient – dendritic salt.
If your bath salts come out damp or oily, they cake up into unsightly chunks, or they lose their scent too fast, you must use dendritic salt. It is basically a fine-grained table salt, but it has twice the power of oil and moisture absorbtion. Just mix your fragrance, moisturizing oils, and liquid color into the dendritic salt first, then mix the dendritic salt into your bulk bath salt.
Usage: Start with 1 part dendritic salt to 5 parts bulk salt. Don’t be afraid to use more if you need it to keep your bath salts dry; it’s just plain old sodium chloride.
2) Powdered, concentrated colorant instead of food coloring.
Most people start coloring their bath salt with consumer-strength FD&C dye, which is food coloring. If you want a wider range of colors, such as a good lavender, and more vivid bath salts that will color the bathwater, you should use powdered colorant instead. Powdered colorant can either be dye, such as FD&C dye, or mica. Use either kind, but make sure that it’s water soluble.
Usage: Disperse 1/4 teaspoon of powdered colorant in 1 ounce of water in a dropper or spray bottle. Blend into dendritic salt first or spray a fine mist directly onto your bath salt mix.
3) Make fizzing bath salts.
Fizzing bath salts are easy to make and add something special to the experience. If you’ve made bath bombs before, the ingredients are the same. Make a “fizz powder” of 2 parts baking soda to 1 part citric acid, and incorporate it into your bath salts. The bath salts will have a powdery feel, but they will flow better and stay dryer as a result.
Usage: I recommend 1/4 cup of “fizz powder” in each serving of bath salts.
4) Use better bulk salt from the Dead Sea.
Dead Sea salt is the best bulk salt, better than Atlantic sea salt or Epsom salt. Why is this? Because Dead Sea salt has an incredible mineral profile, much more than the other two. Dead Sea salt has been the subject of numerous health studies, which have shown it to help with eczema, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and more. It is more expensive than Atlantic sea salt or Epsom salt, but the therapeutic benefit is worth the cost. Use essential oils in combination with Dead Sea salt for the benefits of aromatherapy as well!
Usage: 1/2 to 2 cups per bath for maximum effect.
5) Get the most out of your mineral bath.
Did you know that if you run the bath water too hot, you won’t get any of the minerals? Though the heat can be soothing, temperatures that are too high will make your pores close, preventing absorption of any minerals. In addition, hot baths will make you sweat, just like a sauna, and you may feel tired or sluggish from dehydration.
Usage: The ideal bath temperature is tepid to warm, not so hot that you feel the urge to jerk your foot out of the water when you test it.
