Thank you so much for the recipe! Can you tell me the size of the jars that you used and how many batches can you get from what you gave us? I want to make it as a gift.

Hi Carolyn–thanks for stopping by! I must say that your question has me stumped. I’ve made lots of bath salts and never had that problem. I sounds like a build up of pressure but none of the ingredients I use would cause that. Did you possibly get some water in it. Baking soda and water will have a reaction and the water could explain why it solidified. Other than that I have no idea. If you can get it out of the container (using a knife or screwdriver to break it up) then I would put in a blender or food processor to get it back to the right consistency. Then spread it out on a cookie sheet and leave it out to dry for several days. It should be fine to use after that. Hope that helps!

I love your humor and all your amazing recipies! I love doTerra oils too and made some bath salts with the same ingredients you listed above, at Christmastime…but every time I put the stopper lid on the bottle it would pop off a few minutes later! By the time it had stopped popping the salts had become very solidified…any ideas what I did wrong???
(it wasn’t your recipe, but the ingredients were the same)

In reply to Jolene. I agree Jolene! When I make it for myself I don't use the lavender buds. It's more for giving as gifts so your friends can have weird things floating around in their bath water. LOL!

Hi Anna–I am stumped on that one. I’ve made this bath salt so many times and still have some I made almost a year ago. I’ve never had that happen. I’m not even sure how it COULD happen. I mean salt is salt so I can’t figure out how it would turn into flakes. Sorry I can’t be of more help but maybe try making it again with a smaller batch and see if it happens again. Good luck. 🙂

Ok, I have a question: I added baking soda as you indicate and something weird happened after 4 week or so: the salt turned into ugly flakes that do not dissolve but float on the surface, it looks really weird. Do you know what the reason might be? It was kept in a glass jar with a tight lid so I am puzzled.

I just made this again (because I absolutely love it!!), but this time I added the lavender flowers (that I found at Whole Foods). While it looks prettier with the lavender flowers in the bottle, it was a little weird having them floating around in my bath water. I probably won’t do that next time I make it.
