Holiday Bath Salts
Today's recipe comes from the Bramble Berry web site.You can order everything you need on their site.
This recipe was originally done with a mint fragrance for Christmas. I changed it up and made this project for some Easter baskets. To use you just sprinkle half a cup in a warm bath. The jar can also be left open in a room to add a nice scent.

2 cups Extra Small Pink Sea Salt
1 cup Epsom Salt
1/3 cup Baking Soda
1/3 cup Citric Acid
¼ teaspoon orange oil
¼ teaspoon coconut fragrance
8 oz. Glass Bail Jar
ONE: In a large bowl, add 2 cups
of extra small pink sea salt. Add coconut fragrance oil and stir to thoroughly
incorporate.
TWO: In a separate bowl, add 1 cup Epsom salt, 1/3 cup citric acid and 1/3 cup baking soda. Stir to combine, and use your hands to break up any clumps.
THREE: Add 1 orange oil and stir to thoroughly incorporate.
FOUR: Place a small amount of the white mixture into the glass
bail jar. Using a squeeze bottle, press the mixture down to create a flat
surface. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle, you can also use a small can or
your fingers.
FIVE: Place an equal amount of the pink sea salt on top of the
Epsom salt mixture, and use the squeeze bottle to flatten.
SIX: Repeat this process, alternating between the pink and
white salts until the jar is completely full. Once you are ready to use, scoop
out several tablespoons of bath salts into hot bath water and enjoy!
Bramble Berry also had this Caution: Please Note: We’ve read of incidents of
recipes containing salt and baking soda exploding and shattering the glass
containers they were packed in. We aren’t sure of the cause and have only been
able to find anecdotal evidence. However, we thought we should pass along a
warning. To play it safe, it may be best to pack this recipe in a plastic bag.
