Looking for something quick and easy to do as gifts for Christmas or to add to your Christmas Gift Packs? Bath Milks are always popular and are really easy to make and to customise.
Here is my recipe but you can change ingredients to suit your end product.
20% Milk Powders (eg Cow’s Milk, Butter Milk, Goats Milk, Coconut Milk etc)
21% Kaolin Clay
5% Colloidal Oats
25% Salts of your choice (eg Himalayan, sea salt etc - try to avoid Dead Sea Salt)
5% Botanicals (eg Calendula petals, Chamomile, nettle etc) - if using whole, reduce to 3% and increase clay or milk powder
22% Bicarbonate of Soda
1% Natrasorb
1% Fragrance or Essential Oil - be sure to check usage guidelines and adjust accordingly

Thank you. This is a bath soak. When running a bath, I put a couple of scoops in the water and it dissolves. There really is no good substitute for natrasorb. It's a tapioca starch but if you use ordinary tapioca starch it goes clumpy and holds the moisture differently so things still get damp

Hi...thanks for your recipe. Good Channel 👌🏽 Is This recipe suitable for Kids/Babies ? Can we just use Corn starch instead of Natrosorb ?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 Natrasorb is a form of tapioca starch but it is more refined. Normal tapioca starch will clump. I don't believe cornstarch would be a good substitute. I wouldn't recommend this for kids or babies due to the inclusion of salts. Soaking in salts is not recommended for young people and others with health conditions.

That's a question that cannot really be answered definitively as it really depends on how much water is in your bath. We have a huge bath so I put just under half a cup but in my parents bath which is a lot smaller I'd put about 1/4 cup. It's also a personal preference to how much someone wants in the bath.

True colloidal oatmeal is oats that have been boiled. The mucilage is skimmed off and dried and that is what colloidal oatmeal is. It dissolves cleanly in water with no bits or residue. Grinding up regular edible oats at home is not colloidal oatmeal. It can be used but it does not dissolve like colloidal oatmeal.

[@SoyandShea]

That is correct and as mentioned in the video the processing involved is what leads to the expense. Depending on what you want out of the oatmeal would depend if you invest in the "real" ingredient such as for lotion, or if using in soap you can do it yourself to get a nice Exfoliating soap

We came home to a huge puddle of salt water after it started to sweat - and I mean huge. We were lucky none of the water dripped onto the power point - just wrecked the side board and stained floors.

Do you know something that I could use instead of the oats but would have the same kind of benefits? Or do you think it would be just fine without it? I have a friend who is allergic and I’d be making it for her. I also have a question about oils. If I added an oil (not a huge percentage though) and let it sit over night until dry, do you think I could potentially get away with adding a preservative? Or to the bath salts? (I saw the bath salts video first).

[@SoyandShea]

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would be similar but you could increase the milk powder or clays and leave it out. I personally wouldn't add oil to either one of the milk or salts as it would make it damp once your seal it up. There is also a high chance of it going rancid which a preservative wouldn't help with.
