Rose Petal Bath Salts
Source: papernstitchblog.com
What You Need:
• 1 cups of epsom salt
• 1 tablespoons of baking soda
• 1.5 cups of himalayan sea salt (or regular
coarse sea salt if you don’t like pink)
• rose essential oils
• glass jars
• mixing bowl (or even a pitcher, like I used)
• spoon or whisk
• blender or food processor
Instructions:
1. Start by drying out 1-2 cups of organic rose
petals (you want organic roses if possible,
since they’ll eventually be in your bathtub
while you’re in it). I removed the rose petals
from the stems and laid them out on a piece
of canvas for 4 or 5 days. Also, if you lay them
out in a single layer, they’ll dry out faster.
2. Once the rose petals have dried out, you can
actually make the bath salts. Mix the epsom
salt, baking soda, and himalayan sea salt into
a large bowl or container. Then, add in the
drops of essential oils. Depending on how
fragrant you want the bath salts to be, add
between 4–8 drops of essential oils.
3. Next, pour your dried rose petals into a
blender or food processor with sharp blades.

And set the blender or food processor to
the pulse setting until the petals resemble
confetti. This took a couple of minutes for
me. I alternated between using the actually
blender function and the pulse function on
my blender and it worked great.
4. Once the petals are ready, pour them into the
salt bowl and mix together with your hands
or a spoon. Pour into decorative containers
(one that has an airtight lid is best). Add 2
ounces or so to your next bath and you’re feel
like you’re hanging out in a f Wood Wick Soy
