Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hey there. I've seen recipes that say you can use vanilla extract, peppermint extract, etc., but I've always been cautious of them. I would think you would have to use a LOT in order for the scent to last, and plus, like someone else said, these have alcohol in them and would be pretty drying on your skin, I would think. Lip balm wouldn't be so bad, I wouldn't think, but alcohol in bath salts wouldn't be good for you, probably. One of my friends tried making peppermint bath salts with regular peppermint extract that you can buy at the grocery store, and she said that she had to use a *lot* of it in order to keep the scent strong. Maybe had to use an entire bottle, I don't know! :-) I don't know how she liked the bath salts in the bath, though -- she never told me. But yeah, I'd be cautious of using those. nne in Albany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
