Place the dendritic salt into a bowl. Blend in your fragrance oil, I'm using orange here, but you can substitute for whatever scent you like. Use a glass bowl, we don’t want to use plastic here, as the essential oil can corrode ordinary plastic.
27 g Dendritic Salt, 3 g Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil
Next, add the Epsom salt, sea salt, and baking soda to the dendritic salt mix, stirring after each ingredient is added. Then add your color & mix again. My theme here is orange, so again, feel free to substitute the color. You can even leave out the color if you want to go more natural.
120 g Sea Salt, 120 g Epsom Salts, 30 g Baking Soda, 1 pinch Water Soluble Cosmetic Dye
Once fully combined, spread the salts onto some baking parchment, and allow the salts to dry for 48 hours, stirring every now and again to circulate the air for drying. Placing the baking parchment onto a baking tray or sheet is perfect for this.
After 48 hours transfer to a clean air-tight container, ready for use.
1 Cosmetic Jar
Notes:
Be sure to use only glass or PET plastic containers for holding the salts.
Store in an airtight container & use this within 6 months.
