KMommy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I am in the middle of a project and the recipe calls for Dead Sea Salts and I am completely out of it. I have enough Dendritic Salt that I could sub. for it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 As far as I know dendritic salt is to keep the salt free flowing. I don't see how they could be swapped out, but I do see how you could maybe swap the dead for regular sea or solar salts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Couldn't you swap dead for epsom? Curious only. Not a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 You could probably swap table salt for it! I think (for some reason) you would want iodine-free...Definately kosher salt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks for the replies! So is Dendritic only purpose to help keep the salt free flowing? It doesn't have any of the properties normally associated with the other salts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercup Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It will help to hold fragrance, but you should use only a very tiny amount. Too much can be iritating to the skin. I only use 1 teaspoon per 4 cups of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that using a couple of tsp. of Natrasorb Bath( with the fo incorporated ) mixed in with the salts makes a big difference in holding the fragrance.

Late Night Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I wouldn't use the same amount of Dendritic Salt as you would Dead Sea Salt because it is irritating, especially since you soak in it. A little bit of Dendritic is nice to help hold the scent in. The main reason people like Dead Sea Salt is because of all the minerals it contains. I'd sub with Kosher Salt. You can pick it up at the grocery store if you are in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
