How to Make Gem Stone Bath Salts | Video Tutorial

Colorful Pearlescant Mica can transform plain Sea Salt into shimmering gemstone in just a few simple steps. We shared the following video a while back to help promote one of our Body Care Craft Kits. That Kit has since been retired but the project remains one of our favorites.

The contents can be purchased individually at From Nature With Love, and whipped up in batches large or small using formula shared here. We used our White Tea & Ginger Fragrance Oil in the original kit, but you can substitute any aromatic ingredient that you like. I would suggest picking one of our gorgeous Plant-Based Fragrance Oils. Perhaps the Enchanted Eucalyptus or Grapefruit Splash!

*Please note that we don’t currently offer the Coarse Sea Salt outside of the kit. The next best thing to work with is our Medium Sea Salt. It has a smaller grain size but still makes a beautiful bath salt.
