Enhancing Epsom Salts: Adding Fragrance To Your Relaxation

Epsom salts are a great addition to your bath, but they can be expensive, especially if you want them to be scented. Luckily, it's easy to make your own scented Epsom salts by adding essential oils or fragrance oils. You can also add other things like shaved orange peel or lavender petal shavings, and even baking soda for softer skin.

Adding essential oils to Epsom salts

To make your own scented Epsom salts, start by gathering your ingredients. You will need four cups of bath salts (Epsom or a mix of Epsom and sea salts), 16-20 drops of your chosen essential oil fragrance, and one to two teaspoons of baking soda. You can also add other natural ingredients like shaved orange peel or lavender petals if you like.

Once you have your ingredients, it's time to mix them together. You can do this in a large bowl, or, if you prefer, put the ingredients directly into a large air-safe container and shake to mix. If you're using a bowl, simply stir the ingredients together until they are well combined. If you're using a container, put the lid on tightly and shake until the ingredients are mixed.

After mixing, you may want to spread the salts out on a tray lined with paper to let them dry completely. Then, package your scented Epsom salts in an airtight container, stand-up pouch, or jar.

Now you have your own custom-scented Epsom salts to use in the bath! Just add a quarter to a half cup of salts per bath, swish the water to dissolve them, and enjoy your relaxing, fragrant soak.

Using baking soda to mix the fragrance

Adding fragrance to Epsom salts is a simple process. You can add your favourite fragrance of essential oils to Epsom salts. You can also add 1-2 tsp of baking soda for softer skin. To make the salts, combine 4 cups of bath salts (Epsom or Epsom and sea salts) with 16-20 drops of essential oil fragrance and 1-2 tsp of baking soda. Mix together in a large bowl or put the ingredients in a large air-safe container and shake and mix. You can also add other things like shaved orange peel or lavender petal shavings.

Baking soda is a great ingredient to add to your Epsom salts as it helps to soften the skin. It is also a natural deodoriser and can help to neutralise any unwanted odours. When combined with essential oils, baking soda can help to create a more subtle and natural fragrance.

To use the baking soda and fragrance mixture, simply combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. You can then add this mixture to your Epsom salts. Stir well to ensure that the fragrance and baking soda are evenly distributed throughout the salts.

If you are using a coloured fragrance, you may need to add the salts to a separate bowl and stir to combine and coat the salts in colour before adding the fragrance mixture. This will ensure that the colour is evenly distributed throughout the salts.

Once you have combined the fragrance and baking soda with the Epsom salts, you can package the mixture in an airtight container, stand-up pouches, or jars. This will help to keep the salts fresh and fragrant.

Adding colour to the salts

To add colour to your Epsom salts, you will need to add the salt to a separate bowl and stir to combine and coat the salt in colour. Then, combine the fragrance mixture with the salts and mix well. Package the salts in an airtight container, stand-up pouches or jars.

If you are making your own scented Epsom salts, you will need 4 cups of bath salts (Epsom or Epsom and sea salts), 16-20 drops of essential oil fragrance and 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl or put them in a large air-safe container and shake and mix.

You can also add other things like shaved orange peel or lavender petal shavings.

Using a large bowl to mix the ingredients

To add fragrance to Epsom salts, you will need a large bowl to mix the ingredients. Add 4 cups of Epsom salts to the bowl, and then add 16-20 drops of essential oil fragrance. You can also add 1-2 tsp of baking soda for softer skin. If you like, you can add other things like shaved orange peel or lavender petal shavings. Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl until they are well combined. You can also put the ingredients in a large air-safe container and shake to mix them.

If you are using colour, add the salt to a separate bowl and stir to combine and coat the salt in colour. Then, add the fragrance mixture to the coloured salt and mix well.

Once you have mixed the ingredients, you can package the scented Epsom salts in an airtight container, stand-up pouches, or jars.

Using an airtight container to store the salts

Once you've mixed your salts and fragrance, it's important to store them in an airtight container. This will ensure that the fragrance doesn't dissipate and that the salts don't become damp. You can use a jar, a wide-neck tub, or a stand-up pouch. If you're using a jar, make sure it has an airtight lid. If you're using a stand-up pouch, make sure it's sealed tightly.

When filling your container, leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion. The salts will expand as they absorb the fragrance, so if you fill the container too full, it may leak or burst.

It's also a good idea to label your container with the date and the contents. This will help you keep track of how long the salts have been stored and what fragrance you used.

Storing your scented Epsom salts in an airtight container will help them last longer and maintain their potency.
