Pumpkin Spice Bath Salts

Bath salts are very simple to make. It’s simply a process of combining the dry ingredients you want to use in a mixing bowl, and then stirring in an oil for moisture.

Ingredients include salts (or sugars), usually course in texture, spices and/or skin-safe essential oils and a bit of skin-safe oil such as almond oil.

The most common salt used in bath salts is epsom salt, which isn’t actually a salt at all. It’s a combination of magnesium and sulfate, which is why it’s such a great way to add a little extra relaxation to your bath. Epsom salts rock!

There is such a large number of ingredients you can add to bath salts! Most will easily be found in your kitchen or bathroom already.

The most important thing to remember is to check and make sure that whatever you add to them is safe for your skin and body.

Beyond that, you can use any skin-safe essential oils, spices, herbs or even teas! Mix in a bit of natural oil such as almond, olive or even sunflower oil for moisture as well.

In theory, yes. But there would be little benefit beyond filling for the herbs and spices as well as a carrier for the oil. Epsom salt is said to have many more benefits than regular cooking salt.

If you prefer the texture of cooking salts, try using sea salt instead for the mineral content.
