Basic Instruction for Creating Bath Salts

1. Place the measured salts in a large bowl and mix well.
2. Take out about ½ cup in a small bowl. Add the drops of fragrance and coloring to this smaller amount and mix well. Add the blended mixture to the large bowl, a little at a time until you are pleased with the color strength. Pour your salts in a glass jar with a tight fitting lit. Store and shake every day for one week before packaging.

To use: Draw a warm bath and add ¼ cup of the fragrant salts to the running water. Hop in and relax, inhaling deeply to experience the soothing aromas.

The other fragrances make the blend smell sweet and refreshing.

1 cup Epsom salts
1 cup sea salt
1 teaspoon Atlantic kelp powder
1 tablespoon glycerin
15 drops peppermint fragrance oil
