Ingredients for Lavender Bath Salts:
Here are the ingredients you need to make lavender bath salts:
- 2 oz. fine grain sea salt
- 2 oz. Himalayan pink salt
- 1 oz. coconut milk powder (or sub with colloidal oatmeal or goat milk powder)
- 2.5 ml lavender essential oil (or essential oil of choice)
- 1 Tablespoon lavender flowers, optional
- 1 teaspoon rose kaolin clay (or white kaolin/cosmetic clay)
Tips for Making Lavender Bath Salts
This natural lavender bath salts recipe is designed to make just one 6 oz. container of bath salts, however, you can double, triple or even quadruple this natural skin care recipe if you like.
For this particular homemade beauty recipe, I purchased my salts from my local co-op. The mineral salts, also called true salt, is a lovely natural pink with flecks of black due to the high mineral content. You can easily sub with your favorite type of salt whether you choose to use dead sea salt or even Epsom salt. Likewise the coconut milk powder can be subbed with colloidal oatmeal or goat milk powder to better suit your personal taste or skin care needs.
I like the rose kaolin clay for the lovely pink tint which is perfect if you’re making these as handmade Valentine’s Day gifts, but regular white kaolin or cosmetic clay is essentially the same thing.
How to Make Bath Salts with Coconut Milk
Here is how to make bath salts with lavender essential oil, lavender flowers and coconut milk:
- To make your bath salts, simply weigh out the salts and coconut milk powder using a digital kitchen scale into a large glass bowl.
- Then measure out the clay and flowers and add to the salt mixture.
- Finally, using a transfer pipette, measure out the essential oil and add to the other ingredients, then mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
