Melting bath salts!!
Hi everyone!
I’ve encountered something weird while creating bath salts! The bath salts has the following ingredients:
Epsom salts
Magnesium chloride flakes
1 small drop of essential oil
Coconut milk powderI mixed them in a sealed jar, next day, it became a soggy wet blob.
So I experimented the various mixtures overnight to try to figure out what is causing the moisture… and so far here are the results:
Magnesium, Epsom, EO, Coconut: Wet
Magnesium + Epsom + EO: Wet
Magnesium + Epsom: WetMagnesium + EO: Dry
Magnesium + EO + Coconut: Dry
Magnesium + Coconut: Dry
Epsom + EO: DryBased on the above, I feel like the Magnesium + Epsom together is causing the melting?
I am fine to eliminate the Epsom salts to avoid the wetness. But I cannot eliminate the other ingredients.
When I pour all ingredients into the jar, I seal it right away, so the exposure to air is only a brief moment.
Does anyone have tips on how to do this without it melting? If someone can shed some light on this that would be great.
Thank you so much for any info.
