DIY Fizzing Bath Salts

Posted by admin on July 5th, 2010 and filed under fragrance oil | 15 Comments »

Recipe:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup powdered citric acid
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cups Epsom salt, divided
1 tsp buttercream fragrance oil
1 tsp warm vanilla sugar fragrance oil
1 tbsp olive oil
multicolored sprinkles (optional)

Directions: Mix the baking soda, cornstarch, citric acid and 1/4 cup Epsom salt in a plastic bowl. Create a well in the center of the mixture and add fragrance oils and olive oil. Mix into dry ingredients until mixture looks fluffy and well-blended. Add remaining Epsom salt and sprinkles and mix until homogenous. Store in an airtight container such as a jar or Ziploc bag.

Note: Some people have skin allergies to cornstarch. I have never had a problem, but please use at your discretion. You can easily substitute extra Epsom salt in for the cornstarch if you have this problem.

FTC: I purchased everything used in this video with my own money.
