jdscreations Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Okay quick question. I have a show coming up in December and I want to package up some milk bath and bath salts. Does anyone know what the shelf life would be on these. I was thinking I should wait until November, but if I can start earlier then I want to. TIA.

Lisa_1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The shelf life of your end products (bath salts & milk baths in this case) will depend partially on the shelf life of the different ingredients you use.For milk baths, I've made milk baths for personal use that smelled fine for months, but these were fairly basic milk baths. I've made others that had more goodies thrown in that smelled a little off to me after a month. So for shows, I make & package these the week of the show to ensure that they are as fresh as possible.Bath salts - I don't know if these even have a shelf life if you don't add oils or other goodies to them The only problem I've ever had with bath salts is the fragrance used in them. I've got a few "tester" jars here that are well over a year old - some of them smell just as good as when they were first made - but a few don't smell so great (they stink!) - the fragrance mutated in them after sitting for too long.Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdscreations Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Thank you Lisa. Now that you mention it, it does make sense. The salts and milk bath that I make are pretty basic, so they would hold up. I was figuring on waiting, but just thought it would be nice to get one more thing out of the way. Thanks again.
