Water Softener Salt / Solar Salt?

[lexismommy23]

I searched the archives, but didn't quite get a few of these clearly answered...

I'm trying to figure out what ratio I use to make these? Is it 1oz of FO per lb of salt??

And if you use a body safe oil, it can be used for bath salts or air freshener right?

It just takes the salt, fo and fd&c color right?

Or fd&c color the one that fades?

Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

What "these" are you asking about?

And if you use a body safe oil, it can be used for bath salts or air freshener right?

Yes, in theory. You'll need to test each oil to make sure they are appropriate for the product.

It just takes the salt, fo and fd&c color right?

For bath salts? That's one recipe. I think that's all there is to the air fresheners though, maybe a binder too to help the scent stick around...

Or fd&c color the one that fades?

FD&Cs are UV sensitive, so they will fade in time. You'll need to test to find out how fast. I think UMs and Micas are common colorants for non-fading air freshener salts.
