Commercial Bath Salts
Hi, first time posting here. I’m going through the PCF course. I was wondering why commercial products such as Dr. Teal’s bath salts don’t include solubilizers in their ingredients since they use fragrance and essential oils? I can’t see how they would at all disperse into the bathwater. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use a solubilizer in these kinds of bath soaks?

Usually included in the fragrance blend by the fragrance manufacturer, so no need to disclose on the label.

Thank you!!!

@Bobzchemist, when you have a moment, can you point me in the direction of more information on the labeling requirements for this particular instance and then also maybe a suggestion of where I can find fragrances that have already been solubilized for purchase? I appreciate your time and help!

You will have to talk to your fragrance supplier for this. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to review all of the FDA regulations regarding fragrance - it’s in there somewhere. If you don’t have the time to look through them yourself, maybe someone else here can help.

Fragance plus allergens I think. But I’m not sure if it’s considered a cosmetic product. After all it’s salt.
