Today's tutorial is BATH SALTS! I’m showing you everything about scenting & coloring bath salts.
There are tons of different salts to choose from, but I find Epsom salts to be the perfect size, the easiest to scent & color, plus- they're cheap!
Always use a base to scent salts; this will keep them dry & clump free. You can use tapioca flour/starch, however, Natrasorb Bath, scents salts almost 4 times the amount. If you don't have this, simply scent a different base like baking soda or a starch beforehand, then let it dry completely before adding it to the salts. For HEAVILY-scented salts, 1 tablespoon of scented base (Natrasorb) PER 1/2 cup of salts is the maximum! Any more than this & salts will begin to clump & stick together. If adding mica or dry color, don’t forget to add 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) polysorbate 80 to base or directly to the salts (per 1/2 cup salts).
Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. An emulsifier helps oils & powder colorants, like mica, mix in the water. With out it, oils & colors separate, float on top the water, & will likely cause a nasty ring around the tub. ** Always add scented base before or during coloring; if you add it after, it will dull the colors- especially if you’ve already added a coating of mica! There are several different colorants. If you choose liquid colorant, gel is the most concentrated! NEON: Neon mica is an extremely concentrated matte color powder that has no sparkle or shimmer. It only takes a little bit to color salts. JEWEL: Pre-color salts with base color, then coat salts with different colors of mica. METALLIC: Pre-color salts with liquid colorant (closest to metallic mica), then coat salts with metallic mica. SPARKLING GLITTERING: Pre-color salts with base color, then coat salts with sparling mica. Don’t use glitter for this; it wont work like you think & it won’t look good- only use glittery/sparkling MICAS. DARK: Pre-color salts with dark base color, then coat salts with dark mica. You can use activated charcoal as well. I was very surprised at how little color it took to achieve really dark salts. PEARL: Salts have a soft pearl shimmer, mild color, & a faint sparkle. Great choice for those who prefer muted, pastel, or delicate colors.
