Milky Bath Salts
This recipe is different because it combines the beneficial aspects of a

You will need:
4 1/2 cups sea salt
3 cups Epsom salts
3 cups powdered milk
10 drops vanilla
5 drops strawberry
3 drops sweet orange
2 drops rose
(i.e. 9 tablespoons of scent)
To Create these lovely bath salts simply put it all together and shake in a
large container.If your jars are not big enough to accommodate such a large recipe than I
suggest mixing salts and milk in one bowl, combining the oils in another and
then stirring the two together with a metal spoon.These will need to sit about 30 minutes
before being placed in jars to let the scent absorb properly.
I like to jar these in simple square bottles with a little raffia around the
neck fastening the ingredients and name tag.
I do not suggest coloring these salts, they look nice as is.

Almond.

In a colored glass bottle, add your essential oils starting with base notes,

Spicy Massage Oil
1/2 cup almond oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together. Let the mixture sit overnight, so the oil will absorb the vanilla and cinnamon. Line a
funnel with a coffee filter and pour this oil into a pretty bottle. To use, pour a bit into your palm and massage into
skin.
This oil is wonderful after a bath or shower.

Milky Bath Salts
This recipe is different because it combines the beneficial aspects of a
milk bath with that of the minerals you can get from using bath salts.
You will need:
4 1/2 cups sea salt
3 cups Epsom salts
3 cups powdered milk
10 drops vanilla
5 drops strawberry
3 drops sweet orange
2 drops rose
(i.e. 9 tablespoons of scent)
To Create these lovely bath salts simply put it all together and shake in a
large container.If your jars are not big enough to accommodate such a large recipe than I
suggest mixing salts and milk in one bowl, combining the oils in another and
then stirring the two together with a metal spoon.These will need to sit about 30 minutes
before being placed in jars to let the scent absorb properly.
I like to jar these in simple square bottles with a little raffia around the
neck fastening the ingredients and name tag.
I do not suggest coloring these salts, they look nice as is.
