Hey gang, it's been quite some time since I've been on here...for all good reasons :) (bought a new home)

I got a nice size apothecary jar for the bath, and I am ordering everything to fill it with some home made bath salts, which is new for me.
My question is about the use of Essential Oil with the salts. Do I need to mix the EO with a fixed oil before scenting my salts? Of can I directly add it to the salts? I'm making my purchase from Bramble Berry, who doesn't dilute their EOs.

Thanks so much in advance. I will be sure to post a photo of my creation :)

I would mix the EO with some oil, so your skin doesn't contact undiluted EO directly.

I would recommend picking up some polysorbate 20 from Brambleberry too. Polysorbate 20 is used to mix EOs with water for things like room sprays. You can use polysorbate 80 which is used to mix heavier oils with water (like olive, avocado, etc), but I never use fixed oils like this except in bath salts, so I use polysorbate 20 which I have on hand.

I use a little when I mix the fixed oil (olive or avocado) with the EOs. Some say to use equal amounts of polysorbate and oils but I've never found this to be necessary. I use much less than 1:1. It will really help the oils disperse in the water, so you don't have a floating oil patch - and help when you empty the tub to not have oily residue on the sides.

Good idea Robert! That's even better.

Great advice gang. Thanks for the responses. Going to place another order. I'm very excited for my first Bath Salt!
