Pain Relief Bath Salts Recipe
Ingredients:
17 oz. Epsom salt
.7 oz. fractionated coconut oil (or other carrier oil of choice)
.1 oz. polysorbate 80 or vegetable glycerin
1 mL tangerine essential oil
1 mL peppermint essential oil
1 mL eucalyptus essential oil
Instructions:
To make these pain relief bath salts, begin by weighing out the Epsom salt into a large glass bowl. Set aside.
In a separate container weigh out the fractionated coconut oil and polysorbate 80. Mix well.
(Polysorbate 80 is a solubilizer that bonds with oil. It will keep the essential oils and fractionated coconut oil from sitting on top of the water in your tub. While this product is optional, it is recommended especially in the absence of a carrier oil so that your skin isn’t coming into contact with the essential oils undiluted in bath water when adding essential oils to bath salts.)
Then using graduated plastic transfer pipettes, measure out and add the essential oil. Stir to combine.
Now combine the wet ingredients with the Epsom salt and mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated evenly throughout the bath salts.
Package your pain relief bath salts in your container of choice then label as desired for personal use or gifting.
