RE: Need advice fast~ hard bath salts~ HELP

[Guest guest]

Try nutrasorb, or is that nutrabath, it comes from " nationalstarch " its is

like a starch, but you can add a certain amount of fragrance to it and it will

hang onto the fragrance like a little powder bubble that will disolve when it

hits water letting go of the fragrance.

But i dont think thats going to give you much time to fix the problem, before

you have to give them out. , you might like to try to break it up some how,

maybe in a freezer bag with a cloth over it and a hammer? im not sure what that

will do to the consistancy of the salt, crush it, etc But if your really stuck

its worth a try. other then that, im not sure what to say, Even if you could

add the wet ingredients to your powder ingredients would they have time to dry

in time to be mixed with the salt, and be handed out.

Im sorry I couldnt be of anymore help.

Sorry for the cross post, but I need help fast~

Can some one please give me some advice/or formula on keeping my bath salts from

getting hard. A proven formula for it. I used fine bath salts, tapioca starch,

dendritic salts, oils, citric acid & corn starch. I made these for gifts and

they are already hard. Maybe I need to mix them in certain phases. My gift

exchange with these are this weekend. Please help.

TIA

Hi Shere

I would leave the tapioca starch, oils, citric acid and cornstarch out. The

combination of starches and oils is probably your problem. Stick to sea and

Epsom salts. If you want it moisturizing, add a very small amount of

glycerin.

This should not go hard.

Hello,

Do you think I could add dendritic salts to adsorb the oils & FO? Let it dry

over nite then add my salts. Thank you for your reply.
