How To Make Heavily Scented Bath Salts That Won't Clump!
Вставка

- You should have ALL the ingredients to make this today! I'm going to show you how to make heavily scented bath salts that will remain clump-free. To make clump-free scented bath salt, add the fragrance oil to a dry base powder. The powder will absorb the fragrance and will effectively scent the bath salts without getting them wet. Use any dry powder that you have, like arrowroot powder, baking soda, tapioca flour or starch, corn or potato starch… Or use powders specifically designed to hold fragrance oil, like natrasorb or slick fix. But essentially any dry powder will work as a base- ** it's just that some work a lot better than others. ** Start with a small recipe first. Experiment with recipes before making a big batch.
RECIPE: 1/2 cup salt (I used Epsom. Small-medium grain works best. Fine salt or big coarse salt is harder to work with) + 2 milliliters wet ingredients {1.5 milliliters fragrance oil + .50 milliliters emulsifier}. You may use a different emulsifier, like polysorbate 80 or 60. I used polysorbate 20 because it's thinner & mixes easier.
DIRECTIONS: Add 1/2 cup salt to bowl. If adding wet colorant, add it first. I recommend using a gel color as they're drier than liquid colorants & are less likely to over-wet the salts. Mix until the color is even. Prepare the base in different bowl: add your dry powder to a bowl & add wet ingredients. ***Replace 1/8 - 1/4 of the total wet ingredients amount with an emulsifier. An emulsifier makes the oil mix with water. Without it, the fragrance oil will sit & pool on top the water. If you're adding really dark mica or color powder, you'll need more emulsifier (but that's another tutorial). High-quality fragrance oils are recommended because a little goes a long way, they smell stronger, they smell better (closer to the original scent), & they last longer. I used magnolia blush. These are high-quality fragrance oils that would be perfect for this project: Bombshell, Daisy (Marc Jacobs), Beautiful Day, Cool Waters, ***Magnolia Blush. Find them here: Naturesoil.com?ref=doralincoln Mix everything together well with your hands. Make sure everything is fully incorporated. The base powder should be dry to the touch. Add it to the salt & mix it together until the salt is evenly coated. Once everything is mixed, test the salt. Squeeze the salt tightly then release. If the salt freely flows then its ready. But if it forms clumps you need to add more salt (or less scented base). Once the salt is ready you can add powder color &/or mica. This recipe makes exactly one 3.5 oz bottle (as show in video). Salts should last up to one year. Run your bath then pour the salts in. Then sit back, close your eyes, take in the scent, soak in the warm salt water bath, & relax… As tempting as it may be - don’t fall asleep!
***** You can also start with scented salts. I purchased eucalyptus & lavender Epsom salts. They have a subtle scent that doesn't interfere with my own scent. Plus, they're about the same price.

Hello Dora! You are amazing and my wife and I enjoying your videos all the time.
I want to do one of your recipe of the bath salt but wanted to ask if I can replace the Nattrasorb with dendric salt? I see others using it but noticed you don’t.
Thanx

😚
After using the bath salt, does it leave any residual coloring around the bathtub? Your products look absolutely fun and amazing.
I bet that did smell awesome when the bath salt hit that water...🤩 God bless 😊
Oh geez you have no idea
Hi. So if you add the oils to the mica powder it will help retain the scent as stronger than if you were to place the oils directly into the salt mix, correct? The way I currently have been doing it is this: mixing my essential oils into a base of sweet almond oil, then mixing the mica powder into that base along with polysorbate 80? Then I put it into the salt/baking soda mix. If I want the scent to be stronger, should I replace the baking soda with tapioca flour or what do you recommend? Or do I just need to stop using Essential oils for the scent and find something stronger? Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you for this. Can i add a little baking soda, or kanolin clay, or a milk powder to a softer bath?
Hi Dora, I want to send all my couponed new family to your channel on making your own body wash. I just mention this phrase GOD we can help families survive this increase of cost you are wonderful. Kathy from California 😎
Awesome! So glad u enjoyed it!

🥰🥰🥰🥰whenever you start a class sign me up
lol will do!
Hi! I want to make my bath salts with all natural ingredients. Is there a substitute that I can use in place of the emulsifier?
Thank you so much for this
Thank you for all this great information.. I am beginner in this field and I want to help me for the name of emulsifier to use in this recipe..thank you again ❤️❤️
polysorbate 80
Can poly80 be used instead of 20? What would be the amount of essential oil for this recipe?
Hi, so im here because i recently had a problem with my bath soak😅. Before this video, i read that you can "bake" the mixture to take out the moisture. Would you recommend this as well?
Would this stain the bath tub? I didn't see or read putting polysorbate 80 to salt?
Love your channel 💕 very beautiful & talented 🥰
😘
Hey Dora, thanks for sharing, you have done so many great videos, always looking forward to seeing your new ideas, i want to make a bath bomb that dissolves real quickly, but produces as much foam and bubble as posssible and the foam and bubble lasts as long as possible, like 20 or 30 minutes? is that possible even to maintain the foam that long time?
Nope! The only bath bombs that I know of that I’ve ever made that last at the most 15 to 20 minutes are complete duds. they sit there and barely do anything as far as activity; they just slowly foam and let out of very thin wispy smoky like foam that dissolves right away
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you!
I hope the recipes help you on your journey to making bath salts!
Does the food colouring not stain the bathtub?
Hi am more interested on creating salts.please give me more info
Where do you get Natrasorb from?
Doesn't the baking soda not fizz when in contact with the oils?
Absolutely LOVE your videos Dora! I have a question about how you price your items for retail sale. Do you have a formula you apply? Specifically at the moment I’m interested in pricing bath salts and lip butters in USD. Thanks so much 😊
I’d love to help you Michelle but unfortunately I don’t sell my items I never have so I wouldn’t know how to answer that question
Hi thank you for this video!! Didn’t know about adding a base. Do you have percentages or suggestions just in case we want to make larger batches? Thx so much.

Primeiro like do Brasil 🇧🇷 huhulll
Obrigada!
How much powder to use??
Congratulations for all you do! Where can I buy your products?
Thanks. I currently dont sell anything at the moment
Dora, I’ve been making all kinds of small batches of different soaps and salts - but I was wondering, if I make a really large batch of bath salts without mica or coloring and seal it up, can I take portions of it out at different times to scent and color?? I feel like it shouldn’t hurt anything but I just wanted to make sure there isn’t a reason why people tend to color and scent right away.
Of course
Thank u beauty Could i use polysorbate 80
Yes you can!
So what made you change this recipe? This is different from your previous bath salts recipe which is how I still make them. I scent and add oil and poly 80 to the natrasorb until it is perfect and then add the salt and then I add color. I started using lakes and now I have lots of color powder so I use it with dyes in it. The water looks so cool with dyes.
Great point. I used poly20 this time bc it's thinner & easier to mix in. But either one is fine. Also, I am constantly evolving & learning different things... As I learn & evolve so do my recipes. My old recipes still work & are still relevant, but as I update recipes I give them to you guys. If you have an old recipe of mine that works for you- that's great. Stick with what works!
Omg I have another question for you! So I thought I went wrong with using mica because I needed to use a water soluble dye, but I DID use polysorbate 80 when I used the mica, it still stained my tub. Do you think I just didn’t use enough polysorbate? When in the process do you add in the polysorbate? Thanks so much for your videos!
The more mica you use, the more polysorbate 80 you need to add.... Then, if you're using a really dark mica, you may need even more. I had a horrible disaster with this so now I shy away from using super dark micas with bath salts.
@@CreativeBathLab I see that makes sense. Thank you!!
❤
is the same cornstarch people use to thicking puddy with ?
Yep
Hi Dora, you have mentioned the importance of adding liquid bubble bath in a few of your videos. Do you have a tutorial on how to do it? Or I can just use any liquid bubble bath that are sold at shop? (Those sold at shop are scented and colored, e.g. lavender, rose, milk liquid bubble bath etc) thanks in advance.
On salts?
@@CreativeBathLab to make bubble bath powder.
Can we use gel food coloring or is it different??
you can use that for sure
and how does dendritic salt compare to natrasorb ? i heard it's also a great option
natrasorb is a base powder
@@CreativeBathLab I know, dendritic salt as well. it's a high surface area salt designed to absorb fragrance, and also prevents clumping, like natrasorb.
Oh interesting!!!! I didn't know that! It's a very fine grain salt that doesn't take a base powder that well. I will definitely try scenting it by itself & see what happens!!!
You normally use Polysorbate 80 as I do but why did you choose poly 20 for this project? Also wanted to share that I personally use Natrasorb for my salts and lakes or color powder with dyes to color. Natrasorb is awesome. You can add so much oil to it.
I wanted to demonstrate that you don't necessarily have to have natrasorb to make scented bath salt. This is why I used corn starch this time (people in some other countries don't have access to natrasorb). But as I stated in the video, natrasorb is STILL the best & it is still my choice base powder to use when scenting salts. Although it was surprising to me that it didn't hold THAT much more than corn starch. (natrasorb holds about .35 fragrance oil per tbsp of salt VS .25 ml of fragrance oil with corn starch). Natrasorb holds more, but I just assumed it'd be by a LOT more.
@@CreativeBathLab Interesting. Frankly you went so far as to do all the experimenting and figuring out exactly what it holds, but I am LAZY LOL. I just add oils till it feels right. Then if too much I add back a bit of natrasorb. Thank you for all you do and share with us!
My pleasure!
One question on your video , you say the salt can last up to a year but you use the whole bottle one day 🤔
shelf life is one year. yeah, you can use it sparingly or just make a huge jar of it...but most ppl use a small jar in one use.
Maybe make a larger batch and this is just a sample to give people an idea 🤔 The salt itself in a small or big batch lasts about a year.
She’s saying if you make a batch it can store for a year…
First😊😚😍❤
Mam please share creamy shampoo recipe
Sure 😊
