Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Can someone tell me how to get the bath salts so they don't stay so moist. please help so I can package them. I have put them on a cookie sheet. Thanks Esther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 I have the same question. I have tried to leave them to dry out before packaging them, only to reopen and either have a rancid smell (some made with olive oil) or be clumpy (even with cornstarch). Now I have made some that still smell and feel great even though they seem a bit moist. But if there is something I need to do differently, I would love to know!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Lynn, The reason I add the oils (I also use sweet almond oil) to my bath salts is: it makes the bath water so much more softening to my skin. It is kind of like bathing with a bath oil but not as greasy. But when I get done my skin is so soft and I don't even need to apply lotion. But I don't get that oily residue type of film on my skin. Just a nice softening to my entire body.. To me it makes me feel more like I've had a " spa treatment " in my own tub. Don't know about others but this is the reason I add the oils to my bath salts.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Vickie, look at the recipe on this link. I think you could decrease the baking soda by 8 oz and add 8 oz sea salt . http://www.thesage.com/recipes/recipes.php3?.State=Display & id=59 At 05:55 PM 07/25/2002, you wrote: >Clear DayHi does anyone know how to make bath salts that >fizz....when added to bath water.... >Vickie >v.lusk@... >(Make sure the .(dot) is after the v) >My-Sons American Alpines (Michigan) >Natures Creations Goatmilk Soap >http://home.att.net/~mlusk/index.html > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absorbs eos/fos and also carrier oils and will hold the scent and the oil in a powder form. Bath salts can then be added to the NatraBath/eo/fo blend. The NatraSorb disperses in the warm bath and releases the oils. Nice feel also.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Does anyone use desiccant packets to absorb the moisture in bath salts? Where do you get small enough packets? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I've been using the packets for about a year. I got them when I worked for a department store. People remove them from shoe boxes and pocketbooks. Also grocery stores get them in boxes of candies. If you checked with the stores, possibly they would save them for you. They have proven very effective for me in controlling the moisture. Re: Bath Salts Does anyone use desiccant packets to absorb the moisture in bath salts? Where do you get small enough packets?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Purple always fades in the sun, for some odd reason. I just re-color it or stir well (somehow the color collects towards the middle of the bath salts). Mindie Pruss Mindie's Memorables mindiepruss@...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Lindy~I make my bath salts from Kosher salt or sea salt which you can find in your market and also epsom salts at the market too. i use my eo's ~thats it---i dont add oil~but some others do! and i add my coloring. Mix all ingredients in zip lock bag & really blend the mixture well before adding to your jars or pouches or whatever you intend to keep them i!!!! I just made " Sea Mist " and used blue food coloring and my salts and my eo's and it came out wonderful. Nice shade of blue!!!! Try it ~its alot of fun!!!! *hugs* Misty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 One thing you could do is to use powdered coloring www.stuffjulielikes.com has great mica powder coloring. You could also mix the salts in a huge container, I use a kittie litter type container. Then if I use liquid coloring I just keep it out in the open and just keep stirring it 10x a day til it is dry. It could take a few days. if you package it while it is still damp you get clumps (as you have noticed) So don't package it til it is dry. I have found it is just easier to use powdered colorant. it is easier. Hope that helps erin Bath Salts > Hi All, > > I haven't made bath salts in a long time.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm sure you've all heard about the drugs that are being marketed as " bath salts " . Well, this ban came out today http://www.nyhealth.gov/press/releases/2011/2011-05-23_bath_salts.htm. I had a voice mail from a consignment account that I have saying that they've had to pull my bath salts from the shelf because of the ban. I just filled a large wholesale order for them also. The posting on the Dept of Health website is too vague. Do any of you know what is actually being banned? Is it those ingredients only or anything marketed as " bath salts " ? She made it sound as if they or I could be fined. What do you think? Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks everyone! Yes, I understand that Schumer wants the chemicals banned. I think the wording on the website was poorly written and way too vague. I'm sure that's what prompted her call. If anyone has seen the exact legal documentation on it and can point me there, that would be great. I'll do my best to explain this to her.
