Yield: 32 (2 tbsp per serving/bath)

Author: Kellie Timmins

I make this recipe in a glass bowl and then keep it sealed in a wide mouth mason jar with a scoop on the side (link to purchase below).Use 2 Tbsp per bath.

Instructions

In a glass bowl mix the salts with a wooden spoon.
In a separate small glass bowl add your jojoba oil and essential oils, blend well with a glass stir stick. ***see the note below why it is important to add your essential oils to a carrier oil.
Add your oil blend to the salts.
Mix well with the wooden spoon.
Add into your mason jar.
Seal until it's time to use your salts for a relaxing, calming, soothing bath.
Add 2 Tbsp to running hot bath water. Get in, soak, breathe and enjoy!

Notes

Here are the main reasons why it's important to add essential oils to a carrier before mixing them with bath salts:

Dilution: Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be irritating to the skin if applied directly. Diluting them in a carrier oil like coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil helps to reduce their potency and prevent skin irritation.
Better Absorption: When diluted, essential oils can be more easily absorbed by the skin, allowing their therapeutic properties to take effect more effectively.
Enhanced Solubility: Many essential oils are not water-soluble, meaning they don't mix well with water. Diluting them in a carrier oil can help to improve their solubility in water, ensuring that they are evenly distributed in the bath salts.
Prevents Clumping: Adding essential oils directly to bath salts can cause them to clump together. Diluting them in a carrier oil first can help to prevent clumping and ensure that the oils are evenly dispersed throughout the bath salts.
