Garden Bath Salts DIY Recipe

This recipe is so simple you can make several batches in under 30 minutes… seriously! You will want to first stir and sift together your epsom salt and Himalayan salt in a bowl. Now add in your dried flowers and stir them gently and evenly into the mixture.

Next, in a smaller bowl combine the Rosehip Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Polysorbate, and Essential Oils and stir them together well. The Polysorbate is not an absolute necessity but can help disperse the oils into the bath water and make the tub easier to clean free the oils (although there is not a ton in this recipe).

The last step is to give the small oil bowl one last stir to combine and then pour the contents into the salt bowl and then mix it all together gently - but well. Once everything is well mixed simply bottle it up, print your labels, and gift away! These would be perfect for end of the summer teacher gifts or Mothers Day gifts!
