How to use
Add ½–1 cup to a warm bath and swirl to dissolve. Soak for 15–20 minutes. Rinse skin lightly after soaking. Pat dry and moisturise. Rinse the bath after use.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Moisture causes clumping. Use within 12 months.
Safety
Mix Essential Oil thoroughly into the salt before adding to the bath; undispersed oils on water can irritate skin. Avoid Peppermint Essential Oil for children under 6 and Eucalyptus Essential Oil for children under 10. Rinse the bath after use as surfaces become slippery. Keep out of reach of children.
