All the ingredients can be picked up at your local Walmart!Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup Epsom Salts and/or Sea Salt (I prefer salt from the Dead Sea)
- 1/2 tsp Almond Extract or Vanilla Extract (Almond Extract is the strongest)
- 1 sandwich size Zip Lock bag
- Container to store bath salts
- 1/2 tsp Glycerine (optional but I like how it helps blend and bonds the extract with salt)
Instructions:
*Step 1: Pour salt, extract, and glycerine in Zip Lock bag and shake til salt is evenly coated.
*Step 2: Pour into container of choice. I made a paper funnel to make less of a mess while putting it into my container.
***Variations***
- Add a bow with a vanilla bean tied to it for a natural look.
- Use essential oils (I tried this and I was happier with the extracts. Extracts are way cheaper, are easier to find and have a stronger aroma)
- Add brown sugar and a little more glycerine for a body scrub
Very cool! The organic bath salts are way to expensive for my liking and adding my own fragrance makes this little project all the more appealing!
ReplyDeleteI used them in a bath last night and it was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI did this many times before & even with this same little glass container.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea for everyone. We love to use them & make them as adults & child friendly for little ones to make & give as gifts.... Perfect gift. & so many ideas... I need to try new oils/extracts.
Thanks for sharing! ; )
I think I may have to try this recipe! I do have a jar of plain dead sea salts and a bottle of imitation vanilla that I'm not sure what to do with because I like using pure vanilla or homemade vanilla for baking. I saw the imitation vanilla in your photo and I know I will give the recipe a try!
