Becky Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi guys! A soon-to-be mom asked if I could make 4 oz. jelly jars of baby blue bath salts for her shower favors.I plan on using dead sea salt, Epsom and dendritic salt. My questions: Is it safe to use food coloring as the dye?Can I use solar salt as an alternative to dead sea salt to help her save on costs?Is 2% fragrance oil enough? I've been researching for a while and keep getting conflicting info.I can't believe in all these years I've never made bath salts before! I feel so silly:) Can anyone help?

ProudMarineMom Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I personally wouldn't use food coloring for bath salts. Depending on how much is used, you can stain the tub and possible the skin. You can find cosmetic safe colorants at NG, Brambleberry, MMS, etc. Liquid works best for me. I also mix the color in the dendritic and then mix with the rest of the salts. Seems to color better. Not sure about the solar salt though. You might want to look at Salt Works. They have good prices, very nice salt and offer free shipping. http://www.saltworks.us/wholesale-bulk-bath-salts.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
