The Perfect Blend: Fragrancing Your Bath Salts

There are a few different ways to fragrance bath salts. One method is to add a teaspoon of fragrance oil, sprinkling it around the salts to disperse it better. You can also use an eye dropper or pipette to add the oil. Another method is to add 6-7 drops of essential oil per bath. It is important to be careful with essential oils, as they are volatile and can be dangerous if too much is used.

You should use no more than 6-7 drops of essential oil per bath

When making bath salts, it is important to be careful with essential oils as they are highly concentrated and can be dangerous. For this reason, you should use no more than 6-7 drops of essential oil per bath.

To add fragrance to your bath salts, you can use an eye dropper or pipette to disperse the oil evenly. You can also use a liquid solubilizer to help the fragrance disperse, but be careful not to add too much, as this can cause the salts to dissolve.

The amount of fragrance oil you use will depend on your desired strength of scent. If you are unsure, it is best to start with a small amount and add more as needed.

It is also important to avoid using certain oils, such as cinnamon or clove, which can irritate the skin.

Essential oils can be dangerous because they are so concentrated

Essential oils are highly concentrated, so inhaling them directly can irritate the respiratory tract. This may lead to symptoms such as coughing, nose and throat irritation or shortness of breath. Individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be particularly susceptible to these symptoms.

Essential oils are also dangerous if they come into contact with damaged skin, as this skin will absorb more oil and may cause unwanted skin reactions. Undiluted oils, which you shouldn't use at all, can be dangerous on damaged skin. Young children and the elderly may be more sensitive to essential oils, so you may need to dilute them more. Certain oils, such as birch and wintergreen, should be totally avoided for children aged six or younger because they contain a chemical called methyl salicylate.

Essential oils can also be toxic or cause adverse reactions if eaten, even food-grade essential oils. They are highly concentrated, and someone should never eat them neat. Always speak with a healthcare professional before adding essential oils to food or eating products containing essential oils.

Essential oils can be added to bath salts to create a fragrant experience. However, it is important to note that essential oils are volatile, and you need to be careful with how much you add. For bath salts, add no more than 6-7 drops per bath. You can use a solubilizer to disperse the fragrance into the water, but be careful not to use too much and get the salts too wet, as they will dissolve.

You can use a solubilizer to disperse the fragrance into the water

To use a solubilizer, add a small amount of fragrance oil to the salts. You can sprinkle the fragrance around on the salts as much as you can to disperse it better. If you have an eye dropper or a pipette, you can use that to add the oil. You can also add a few drops of soap colourant to the salts. The amount of colourant will depend on how dark you would like the colour to be.

Once you have added the fragrance and colourant, gently mix everything together with your hands. The fragrance and colourant will clump up in the salts, so pick up small handfuls and gently rub the salts together to really mix it all together well.

It is important to note that essential oils are very concentrated and can be dangerous if used in excess. For this reason, it is recommended to add no more than 6-7 drops of essential oil per bath. Be careful with essential oils, especially citrus oils, and avoid using oils such as cinnamon or clove, which can irritate the nether regions.
