How to Make Artistic Bath Salts

A bath is always wonderful. Add to that the benefits of Epsom salt and essential oils and you have something truly beautiful. In this video Marie and Emmaline from Wisdom Preserved teach you how to make artistic bath salts.

Epsom salt is reported to provide supplemental magnesium, promote sleep, reduce stress, treat constipation, relieve muscle cramps and soreness, and reduce pain and swelling. The benefits of essential oils depend on the ones you choose to use. We decided to go one step further and not only make bath salts but make them beautiful as well. Bath salts are one of my favorite gifting items. They are a consumable so I don't feel like I am cluttering up people's lives with more stuff and they look so pretty they add to the décor until they are used. I have even used making these as an activity for my daughter's birthday party where they were a huge hit.

For this design, you need small glycerin soaps, Epsom salt, table salt, essential oils, food coloring, plastic bags, and a container with a lid.

I used small silicone molds to shape my soap but you could buy small soap that was already created. I like making my own because I can personalize it a little more, from shape to color it is all in my hands.

Making the bath salts in this style is easy but takes a little time. The first thing to do is determine how much salt will fit in your container while leaving room for the soap decorations. For our containers, it was 3 cups. This was perfect because it is a 2:1 ratio of Epsom salt to table salt. We started by combining 2 cups of Epsom salt, 1 cup of table salt, and 12-15 drops of essential oils in a gallon size bag. You can combine multiple oils or just use one. This is very much dependent on personal taste and the quality of your oils. You can add more or less as you deem necessary but remember it will be less potent later. Seal up the bag releasing any trapped air. Mix the ingredients together through the bag dispersing the oil throughout.

Now it is time for the fun part. Adding the color.
