Bath Salt Recipe

by Mariève

This bath salt recipe is brought to us by Mariève of Eastern Ontario, Canada. This creative young artisan is a University student who will soon be leading a classroom and molding young lives. She loves to make her own bath and beauty products. Eucalyptus is her favorite scent because it is strong and relaxing.

She says the best thing about this recipe―is that it is simple and all the ingredients can be easily found in her community. These recipes bring great twist on the classic lavender and eucalyptus bath salt recipes.

When it come to presentationand packaging, Mariève suggests that you use your imagination! She likes to keep things simple and natural and opted for a mason jar with some ribbon.
