Bath Fizzies Problem

[Guest guest]

Dead Sea salts are often moist and can cause problems such as this! You can

either try drying your salt out a bit before you add any fragrance or color,

or check with the distributor about this problem. I have been buying DS salts

for about 15 years and have found that they very much vary in consistency. My

favorite supplier went out of business and I have been buying a lot of

samples and can definitely say that some people are not selling pure DS salt.

Try

your recipe with another batch of salt from another source and see if that

makes a difference. Anna

Hi all

 

I've been trying to develop a dead sea salt bath fizzy (just loose,

not formed into balls or anything). When I was mixing the ingredients

they worked just fine and fizzed up beautifully. I put them in PET

jars with plastic unlined lids. The next day, when I tried them out,

they didn't fizz and there was an opaque white granular matter that

was very resistant to dissolving in the water. (None of the original

ingredients fits that description.)

 

My guess is that there was enough moisture present to make the

fizzies react in the jars. Question is where did the moisture come

from? Do you think it might have been in the sea salts? Or did it

sneak into the containers some how? It's not very humid here in

Berkeley, so I don't think it was introduced from the air when I was

making it.

 

Any thoughts, theories etc would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi Ann

 

Yes, I think you are correct. That must be the problem because I noticed that

the salts were kind of clumpy when they arrived. I am going to ask my supplier

to send them in a plastic bucket next time, rather than an unsealed plastic bag

in case they are absorbing moisture from the air like table salt does. THen I

will dry them out in the oven and/or pack them with those dessicant sachets.

 

Thanks you very much!
