Adding Color & Fragrance To Your Brazilian Sea Salt Crystals

Scenting: The amount of Essential or Perfume Oils you will need to use will depend on the variety of oil used. For example, you would need more grapefruit in your salts than peppermint as the mint family is much stronger than the citrus. Because the Sea Salts Crystals are semi-porous, the oils will travel easily through the salts. Always store your scented salts in airtight glass or PET containers.

Coloring: It is recommended scenting the salts first and then coloring. There are 4 different methods for coloring:

• Liquid Based - This coloring will dry the best.
• Glycerin Based - This will give the crystals a translucent color.
• Mica Powder - Gives the salt an opalescent color.
• Water Rinsed - Gives the crystals a "glass like" appearance.

Liquid or glycerin colorant fragrance can be hand applied to the crystals using rubber gloves. Apply perfume or essential oil, and color. Lay crystals out on parchment to dry.

If you use mica powder you need to shake the crystals in a plastic bag and then mist with your perfume or essential oil.

Water rinsed - Simply rinse the crystals and let dry for a "glass like" appearance and then mist with your fragrance or essential oil.
