"I make bath salts with Dead Sea salt, Epsom salt, pink salt, black salt and European spa salt blend. In some I add crushed botanicals or flowers- rose, calendula… I use essential oil for scent , my salts all tend to become very wet in a few days they don’t stay dry. I don’t want to use baking soda- how do I keep them dry?"

Staff Answer This should be fine for most recipes. Note the Dead Sea Salt tends to draw moisture more than the European Spa Salt.

"I ordered a bulk size of the course grain dead sea and found a couple of black specks. What are those? Is it black sea salt?"

Staff Answer The black specks that you found in the dead sea salt are most likely minerals. Sea Salt organically contains an abundance of minerals, and since this product is naturally excavated it is not uncommon to see minerals from time-time-time. .

"What is the best way to add color to this salt for a colored scrub? "

You can use WSP's mica powders, or liquid colorants. I use both for salt scrubs and they work beautifully. Don't forget that you can mix your own colors to get the look you're going for.

When coloring salt I prefer to use WSP's liquid colorants. I find that in my own personal experience, that more color adheres to the salt and it's easier to get the exact color you're looking to create.

I tend to always use mica's. There may be a time I may want to use liquid colorants- but mica's have always been a good choice for me. Very easy to use and a very tiny amount can color alot!

Staff Answer Dead sea salt is not recommended in soap. It attracts so much moisture that the soap often stays soft.

"Can coarse grain salt be used as an exfoliant? What grain of salt is recommended?"

It certainly can! I think it is all a matter of personal preference on the size of the grain. With the coarse grain, you can start big and work your way down if you would like a finer grain. Just throw the salt in a processor for a few seconds for a finer grain if needed!

Any grain of salt can be used as an exfoliant. It is a matter of personal preference. Some of the thicker grains can be "scratchy" to the skin for some people and perfect for others. I'd suggest experimenting and grinding it down (in a coffee grinder) depending on how you want to use the product.

You can use salt as an exfoliate, but it is a personal preference and will vary depending on the area of skin you are using it on. For example, elbows are tougher and can take a more abrasive scrubbing, but you might not want to use it on your face if you have sensitive skin.

I use this coarse grain on places that really could use it, like my heels and elbows! But I definitely grind it down for more sensitive areas like my face.

"Why does it say on the bag "For external use only"? Are there any additives to it? who supplies wsp with this product?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The country of origin of the dead sea salt (coarse grain) is Israel, and they only contain sea salts. They say "For external use only" because they should not be ingested. This is because we are not an FDA-approved food packaging facility.
