Herbal Bath Salts Recipe | Bumblebee Apothecary

[@kspooks]

I really wanted to make bath salts for my gf because she loves baths, this is super helpful!

[@madonnamiller1]

The little bag for bath is genus! No more mess!!

[@teresa4973]

Wow! What a great tutorial! I thought I knew how to make bath salt but you threw in some awesome tips that I wasn't aware of, like drying it in the oven and adding the castle soap... Thanks! 👍

[@notyouraveragefox]

I’ve wanted to make my own bath salts for a while now! Will have to give this a try as soon as I grab some epsom salt. Thanks for the recipe!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yay! Let me know what you think! 😊

Was looking for the perfect way to make my own bath salts for my daughter and I found You! Loved how you explained the reasons of why to put baking soda, soap and oils. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

You are so welcome!

[@audrachristine5044]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU! & QUESTIONS! This is an awesome recipe, I’ve used it before, but I am tasked with making a large amount of bath salt blends… I’m trying to figure out the proportions. Do you have any recommendations on figuring that out if I use your recipe? So if I was using cups, I would just translate that from the tablespoons ? For example, 7 cups dead sea salt, one cup, Epsom salts, etc.? And I wondered if they could be dried in the microwave also? I’ve been drying flowers that way and herbs, and it works quickly and well! Have you ever tried that or has anyone?

[@missmariss5037]

I just have to say your baby bump is so cute in this video ❤

[@OurAmyableFarmhouse]

This is SO much better than "Calgon take me away" ;). LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to try this. And thanks for the tip: muslin bag! Such a great solution!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@cristallin3924]

i have read a lot about bath salts and im really into it now! i really loved your clever tips about the salt

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yay! Thank you ☺️

[@jasonandanahare2253]

Thanks for the recipe! I am making them for Mother's Day. So many great tips and one of the few videos I could find that actually used a carrier for the essential oils (which I was definitely wanting to do!) I am surprised though that you use 240 drops essential oil?! Most recipes I see use 10 - 20 drops. I was too scared to use too many so have used 12 drops so we'll see how that goes.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Hope you enjoy! You can absolutely adjust the amount of essential oils if you like :)

[@chely407]

I can’t wait to make this! Can I store this in bags instead of jars?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

I haven't tried bags, but it probably depends on what kind of bags. Something air tight would be best. Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing all the great information as you were making this! Where do you buy your essential oils. 240 drops is a lot so you must be buying in bulk. Thanks!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

I get them from Plant Therapy 😊 Yes, I do go through a lot, so I have a wholesale account with them 😊

[@ThisBeautifulFarmLife]

@@BumblebeeApothecary Thanks Marisa!

[@kutieluvsmj7]

I used 2 cups of epsom salt and 1 cup of Himalayan salt. I used 20 drops of essential oils and it was VERY strong. So i dont see how u are using 240 drops

[@Gizana]

@@kutieluvsmj7 I am so confused about the 240 drops. Seems so excessive, but I'm new to this

[@crystalgoddess4202]

I also make bath scrubs, but I make mine with more moisture rather than drier, because I was informed that dry was more irritating to them. Any thoughts?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

That's interesting! I found that leaving moisture made them clump together. Thanks for sharing!

[@brandispencer6156]

Thank you for sharing! What is the shelf life?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

You're welcome! They keep for around 6 months to a year.

[@monicabecks9578]

could I use all Himalayan sea salt? I bought some specifically for bath soaks. I also have magnesium flakes. They tend to be wet when compared to Epsom salt. Do you have any suggestions on how to incorporate the mag salts into a soak with out it clumping up? THANK YOU

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yes, Himalayan pink salt should be a good substitute. Is not quite as rich in minerals as the Dead Sea salt, but it would be fine. The baking step is actually to dry the salts out so they don't clump, so that may help.

[@monicabecks9578]

@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you very much!! I about to enter the laboratory now ;) I love your passion!!

[@christiesolano7717]

What's the best book to get started?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

I didn't use any books, just experiment and create things on my own :) I'm sure you could find something good online, though!

[@aquamarine9209]

Isn't it bad to heat the essential oils in the oven, as they will lose their therapeutic properties ? Thanks for sharing your video.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Good point! I think heat might affect them some. I've also made this recipe by adding the essential oils after the heating process, and I do like that better.

[@CintiaVsTia]

Thank you for sharing. I've never made bath salt before; how much does this recipe yield? 240 drops seems like a lot is that a whole bottle or oz conversion to consider?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

This makes 16 oz. :)

[@BeedotWill]

Quick question..can I use fragrance oils instead of essential oils? Thanks.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

You could, but you’d use a lot less. I prefer essential oils because they are natural, while fragrance oils are synthetic 😊

[@jeanetteharold5991]

They can burn the skin so if you do, don’t use much at all

[@carolhall3392]

We're can you get safe dryed flowers and herbs in bulk for candles,oils, and baths

I usually go to Bulk Apothecary, Mountain Rose Herbs, or Amazon. I have some links in the description box of where I get the ingredients for this recipe :)

[@shauneriver3973]

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

They are 8 oz. and I bought them here :) www.specialtybottle.com/glass-jars/clear-straight-sided/tall-metal-lid/8oz-tal8

[@bluemoon2585]

How many drops of essential oil did u use?

[@lisasmith3981]

I have a question will putting them in the oven effect the benifits of the essential oils

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

It might a little bit, but I've still found it to turn out very well :)

[@frecklesforties]

What are the benefits of using the oil and castille soap? Can you just use one? Thanks.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

They are to dilute and disperse the essential oils. You could probably do okay with just one, but using both works even better 😊

[@frecklesforties]

Bumblebee Apothecary also...so sorry in the Uk we have baking powder or bicarbonate of soda......which do I use? Baking powder has raising agent and wheat flour and the bicarbonate has just the raising agent sodium hydrogen carbonate? Thank you xx

[@lindsaybaker5653]

how much do you recommend per bath? 240 drops of oil sounds like a lot for one bath so I'm assuming not all at once, right?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Right! About 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the finished salts is what I usually do.

[@originalgifted7226]

I have a quick question, what essential oil did u use in the recipe?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

I use Relax from Plant Therapy: www.pntra.com/t/TUJGR0ZGSEJGTkpHTUZCRkxNSUlI

[@libertymicrofarm6032]

In the video you say 7 tbs epsom salt, but your blog post says only 1 tbs. which is correct?

It is 7 tbsp Dead Sea salt 1 tbsp Epsom salts :)

[@vimmytravels]

Hi! Is it okay to use baking powder instead of baking soda? If yes, how much of it? Thanks!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

I don't think that would work the same, since it has extra ingredients. Hope this helps!

[@victoriacavallo4470]

[@AG_ASG]

Is drying of the end product necessary? Any drawbacks if not followed ?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

It’s not necessary, but if you skip that step the salts might harden in the container while they’re being stored. Drying helps to prevent that 😊

[@AG_ASG]

@@BumblebeeApothecary Thanks for clarifying. I wanted to make in slightly bigger quantities and didn't have access to an oven. Any other suggestions as to how to dry the mix ?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

@@AG_ASG You're welcome! Hmmm... maybe you could spread the mixture out on baking sheets and let it sit in the sun or some other warm area for a few hours? I'm not sure if that would work, but it is my best suggestion with no oven 😊

@@BumblebeeApothecary ok understood. Thanks again. I will try out and get back with results.

I am so confused about the 240 drops. Seems so excessive, but I'm new to this. Is that number actually correct? And how come you wouldn't just do it by the teaspoon/half teaspoon instead of having to count 240 times? Thanks

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

It seems like a lot, but that's the amount I found works well for the finished salts to have enough smell. You could definitely do less if you prefer! And yes, I think it would be more efficient to do teaspoon measures, but I didn't figure out what the conversion would be :)
