Super Simple Basic Bath Salts

 Before you begin, cover your work area with newspaper or an old tablecloth. Gather together measuring cups and spoons. A large funnel is helpful, but not necessary. You will need something to mix the ingredients in. A large mixing bowl, a fairly large lidded container, (great for shaking), or a one gallon size zip lock bag will work. I like the bags because they are disposable (no cleaning!), easy to mix in, and the salts can be stored in them until you transfer it to a pretty container.

 Ingredients

 Directions

Combine dry ingredients in container or bowl. Mix well. Add color and fragrance and glycerin (if using) one drop at a time.

Mix well, breaking any large clumps with your hands. If using the ziptop bag, carefully seal it and gently knead the mixture until of a consistent texture and color is evenly dispersed. If more color or scent is desired, add only a few drops at a time, mix, and check again.


Mixture should be granular and slightly crumbly.  Some of the salt grains will absorb slightly more color, but this is okay. It actually adds to the attractiveness of the salts.


Store finished bath salts in clean, dry containers.  It's important that they be kept airtight as dampness and humidity will cause hardening.  Add one scoop or four tablespoons to bath and enjoy.
