Thanks! I appreciate your comment. I do try to share my decision making process with you all. I am just editing a cream video where I go in depth about how I came up with the price to put on a new product line. I hope you stay around to watch that one in a couple of weeks! 💖
Tammy, you are showing us your process and it's interesting - sleep deprived or not! I like how you pull out ingredients I've never heard of - you have a nice collection :)
The paint can would have made a good vessel to hold some crinkled shredded paper and 4 or 5 menthol shower steamers. Add a healing lip balm and call it a winter healing kit, or something like that. I’m sure the cans and bath salts are long gone, but I appreciate how you’re evaluating and tweaking your business.
that's a great idea with the paint cans. I did end up using them as a gift set - a small cream, scrub, and body butter I think - they finally sold that way LOL - these salts DID NOT sell. So - done with salts LOL🤗
Tammy great content as usual. Love your recipe!! i am going to make these for my family as i have all the ingredients. How long did you leave them to dry on your baking sheet? and did you find they lost some fragrance while drying. Thanks for all your content and taking the time to do videos for us all .x
oh I hope they love them! I believe I left them for about 24-48 hours. That should be plenty of time for them to dry. If they are in a deep pan of sorts you will want to stir them more often, otherwise stirring once or twice should to it. I didn't notice a loss in fragrance, this will have a lot to do with the fragrance you use though. -- good luck!!!
Hi Tami. I made some bath salts recently and I put it in some plastic jars and also a couple of salt tubes, I'll call it. It almost seems like it has absorbed water. Did you have that problem with those plastic paint cans? Thanks for any help. Valerie
Hi Valerie!! I will say - most of the time I put salts in ANY plastic container that I have tried they eventually get hard. I don't have problems with them sweating so much but they sure can get rock hard on me. They really do good need an airtight storage solution I think. I actually had more issues with a jar with a tight lid than I did with the paint cans - which is really surprising. I stopped selling them as they don't move quick enough for me. 🤔
Thanks so much Tammi. I'm sorry if I'm not spelling your name right. The girl that cuts my hair spells hers with one m and some spell it with a y at the end. I can't remember if I've seen how yours is spelled. Either way, I'm sorry if it is wrong. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024!@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique
thanks for watching. I haven't taken any classes to be a formulator. Honestly I'm not a great formulator, I have a few that I have created that I am super proud of though. I learned most from Marie and Humblebee and Me. I would start there. Also Whole Elise is another great one to watch. Finally Tara Lee you can search all of them on RUclips and you will def learn from them. there are formulating degrees you can get with taking online classes but they are very expensive. Good Luck!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Thank you so much for replying! I have been getting into Marie and will look into Whole Elise and Tara Lee. You are an inspiration to me! God Bless You! I have been watching Jerika Zimmerman, You, Ellen Ruth, and quite a few more. I write down recipes and tweak them to fit the oils and smells I like with the use of the IFRA and usage rates. I certainly think all of you makers together are like going to school. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and watching you all and learning!
Do you (or anyone else watching this) know where I could find a plastic shaker-style container for bath salts? I'm dying to try your recipe but I don't want the danger of a glass container in my bathtub area since I drop things all the time! LOVE your helpful videos.
Hi! I can't think of where to find a plastic shaker bottle. Are you selling or just using for yourself? I too am a huge dropper LOL. You should be able to find a plastic jar and use a spoon maybe.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique , thank you for your quick response. I would like to sell them at some vendor events I plan to participate in this fall. Putting myself in a potential customer's shoes, I would not want to mess with anything glass or using a spoon, although I see alot of seller's of bath salts include those. The only 'shaker-style' plastic containers I've even seen are large spice jars, but I actually think that might work perfectly! Especially with a pretty label.
I love that bowl! It looks like a big bath bomb mould! Why don’t you use regular salt to make it cheaper? I’ve watched a lot of tutorials and no one uses regular salt! It’s the base of my bath salts, and I don’t use slsa or any foaming agent, I think that’s why things end up costing more, bath salts and bath milks aren’t supposed to be bubbly, more expensive fancy ones sure but not normal bath salts, I love these cans! I would have bought them cause they were cute too! ❤
That container looks absolutely beautiful, I'm in the UK and just about adding bath salts to my cosmetics line. Do you mind sharing a link of the cans please? Thanks
Thank you! Well I can't give you a link to the can but I can give you a link to the website - www.nashvillewraps.com/ I looked and could not find the paint cat again, but you may have better luck!🤗 - good luck with you new line!
what kind of dye? I use food coloring. I've been having a clumping problem. My first batch was fine but I put mica in there not knowing. I also used sea salt (uses sodium ferrocyanide). Not sure if the sea salt kept it from clumping or the mica. either way all of my successive batches clumped. I am close to buying dendritic salt but I'm not sure if that's going to be the fix.
Yes you can, but you will need to check with the guidelines of the EO you want to use. I would check out eocalc.com to get the best usage rate - that have wonderful blend ideas as well - it's my go-to!
Hi! I have been wanting to make a bath salt or a bath soak or anything similar but without soap. I want it to foam like when you mix baking soda vinegar together but I don't want to use soap to achieve that. Any tips?
I have used Marie's recipe for a foaming bath salt in the past - here is a more recent blog post - I think this would be great for you to try - www.humblebeeandme.com/winter-wonderland-shimmery-foaming-bath-salts/ Good luck!
Is mica dissolvable in the fragrance oil or polysorbate 80. Or both? It’s humid where I live and I’m terrified of water lol the longer my mix sits out, the wetter it gets! Also does the amount of additional Epsom salt used effect the bubbliness?
You can certainly mix mica with either the fo or the poly 80! and yes, the additional epsom salts will dilute the bubbliness of the bath water. It will make it more silky so it is a trade off. Great questions! 😊
Usually it is fine but everyone has their own opinions of too strong or not strong enough. You can easily go up in fo load, I would stick to less than 5% tho.
Can someone help me? My recipes is 1 cup dead sea salt flakes, 1 cup epsom salt, 1/4 cup baking soda, 3 teaspoons grapeseed oil and 10-20 drops of essential oil. My mixture is just wet and dissolving. I tried laying it out to dry but the scent fades and still dissolving.
Hi Ann! You can leave it out - no worries! It will help the salts from clumping and may help with scent retention, but it is just as easily skipped without to much worry. When I started I didn't have it either and they were fine! Good Luck!
Hi - thanks for your question - yes I sell these salts - that tiny bit of water I added evaporated while drying for the 1 to 2 days I had it out on the counter. Similar to bath bombs that are sprayed with either alcohol or water, or even which hazel, they also do not require a preservative. At least I have never seen anyone us a preservative in a bath bomb.
I like your ideas but you need to speak with more confidence. You're always apologizing. It makes you look inconfident and weak. Being timid is not going to help you.
Hi JB - thank you for your feedback, a little harsh I think for someone who had their channel for less than a year at the time but that's ok. I was apologizing a bit, but again - 10 months into my channel I think I was doing ok. Not great, but ok. I try to get better with every single video and feel like I have improved quite a bit in the last few months. Another thing about me and my channel though is it is just me, doing my thing. I make mistakes that I don't cut out, I am totally honest in every thing and word - sometimes this makes me look "unconfident or weak" but I am not going to change that. The reason I now have as many subscribers as I do is that I am totally real with my viewers. If this is something you can get behind I would love to see you around some more!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique hmmmm, I thought you were great :) I love your down to earthness :) (is that a word? because I know for sure inconfident is not a word LOL all I can say is, you are a fantastic lady who has opened up all you know to others. That alone, is fantastic and selfless :) I would never respond to someone who is a downer, never. Did I say never? NEVER. I have been looking to try and find good bath salts recipe and ideas for my own business when I came across your channel. I am very grateful that I did! I'm going to try your recipe because I believe it will be a winner! YOU ARE AWESOME :) Thank you !!!
@@tonihall2006 Thanks Toni! You are very sweet!! I almost didn't respond this this as you are correct in that I shouldn't respond to negative comments - but for some reason I just felt that I wanted to this time. Thankfully they are very few - you guys are just the best most supportive and encouraging group of people, I never in my life dreamed that I would find that here! Thank you again for having my back! 💖💖💖
You don't need to apologize to anyone. Be confident. If they don't like you then they don't have to watch. I said that a little harsh to make you be stronger. I saw people's comments and it made me angry. I should have been more gentle. My apology. You are doing a great job. I like your channel. You're original. There's a lot of copy cats on youtube taking credit for other people's work. And we all can tell who they are. We know their ideas didn't come from them. They see someone else teach something then they create a channel and pretend like they are the ones who came up with it.

I love your way of explaining! Your reasoning why you add specific ingredients are so well put out
Thanks so much! 😊 - that makes me feel better after an earlier not so nice comment on this video 😆
I really love it that you talk about finances. This is so important nowadays
Thanks! I appreciate your comment. I do try to share my decision making process with you all. I am just editing a cream video where I go in depth about how I came up with the price to put on a new product line. I hope you stay around to watch that one in a couple of weeks! 💖
I run an art studio for adults with disabilities in Concord. We are making bath salts today so thank you for your wonderful video.
Oh I'm glad you found it helpful!!😃
Tammy, you are showing us your process and it's interesting - sleep deprived or not!
I like how you pull out ingredients I've never heard of - you have a nice collection :)
Oh thank you Cheryl! ♥
I do the same thing but stuff because it’s cute, sit on it for 2yrs!😂 oh love your energy ❤️🪬
haha! glad I'm not alone!😂😊
do u have to have baking soda,in the recipe

Love the 8oz jars. I did the reverse. I bought some jars that were labeled 8oz but they actually 4oz. Where did you buy those square jars from?
sks - here is the link - www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin18wa.html I think they are super cute!😊
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks so much! 💓
Just curious. Did these sell at your price point. It seemed close to the $22 you said didnt sell for the other product
Thank you. Hugs
You are so welcome😊
You still need poly80 for the dispersement of the fo into the water 😊
🤦♀️😂 - thanks for that reminder!
What can I use in place of SLSA, the dendritic salt, and the powder to absorb the oil?
When you let this dry for a few days, does the scent get lighter? I tried this and my scent was not strong in the water.
Usually it is fine but everyone has their own opinions of too strong or not strong enough. You can easily go up in fo load, I would stick to less than 5% tho.
Hi is the Epsom salt used to layer part of this written recipe? And what you said is different from what you wrote which is accurate?
Yes, I used just Epsom salts for layering
Can someone help me? My recipes is 1 cup dead sea salt flakes, 1 cup epsom salt, 1/4 cup baking soda, 3 teaspoons grapeseed oil and 10-20 drops of essential oil. My mixture is just wet and dissolving. I tried laying it out to dry but the scent fades and still dissolving.
Where did you get that big stainless steel bowl?
I got it at IKEA, it is really cheap and I love it so much - other than...the bottom is a bit rounded so they are not as stable as others might be.
I use the 12 oz square bottles for bath salts. But mine are a milk bath salts, and I use 5 different salts
I'm playing around with some different recipes - but haven't added milk, that is something to think about! Thanks!💖
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique they're so silky & soft on the skin. I use powdered goat milk. 🥰🥰
What were the results of the bath salts?
sadly, they did not sell. I'm pretty much done with them. I had to mark these down 50% and STILL had them forever before they sold🤔
What can I use instead of 5he dendritick salt I can't seem to finf any near me 😭
Hi Ann! You can leave it out - no worries! It will help the salts from clumping and may help with scent retention, but it is just as easily skipped without to much worry. When I started I didn't have it either and they were fine! Good Luck!
you added water but no preservative is that safe to sell
Hi - thanks for your question - yes I sell these salts - that tiny bit of water I added evaporated while drying for the 1 to 2 days I had it out on the counter. Similar to bath bombs that are sprayed with either alcohol or water, or even which hazel, they also do not require a preservative. At least I have never seen anyone us a preservative in a bath bomb.
Where can i get the full recipe
Hi Deborah! You can get the recipe in the description box (you may have to click the "show more" button to see full description! Thanks for watching!!
Is there a formulation calculator for bath salts like there is for salt?
Hi Katie! I've never seen a bath salt calculator.🤔
Pon subtitulos en español. Es una lastima no poder hacer la receta por no entender el idioma.
