Lavender Bubble Bath Salts Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups Epsom Salt OR Dead Sea Salts
- 1/4 cup liquid Castile Soap
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Glycerin
- 1 teaspoon white Sugar
- 12 drops Lavender essential oil
- 2 drops Rose Geranium essential oil
- 1 drop Benzoin OR Clary Sage essential oil
- 1 drop Chamomile essential oil
- Optional: 10 drops blue, 2 drops red food coloring
Directions
- Measure the salt into a large ceramic, glass or metal bowl (not plastic - it will absorb the essential oils and be ruined.)
- In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
I recommend using a metal spoon - a wooden or plastic spoon also absorbs essential oils.
- Pour the soap mixture into the salt and stir until the salt is evenly coated.
- Thinly spread the salt mixture on a cookie sheet. Cover with wax paper and air dry for 24 hours.
- Store your lavender bubble bath salts in a
dark glass or PET plastic jar.
- Use about one cup of salts per bath. This bath salt recipe makes enough for three baths.
