Rosehip Seed Bath Salts Project
In terms of DIY, bath salts are one of the easiest to make. Simply adding plain salt (such as Epsom or Dead Sea salt) straight to the tub is great for the skin. But taking the time to add a few extra ingredients creates a recipe that's perfect for gifting.
This recipe is made with fine grained Dead Sea salt. It comes from Israel via the Dead Sea, where many people travel to soak in its water. Dead Sea salt contains a large amount of magnesium, potassium, bromides and chloride which feel great on the skin.
Rosehip seed oil adds vitamins A and C, and it gives your bath water moisturizing properties. A touch of evening primrose extract is also added, which is wonderful for dry and mature skin. Polysorbate 80 disperses the oil throughout the bath water and prevents it from pooling on top. Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil adds a fresh scent, and red rose petals and a touch of Rose Gold Mica dress up the salts.
