• add 2-3 TBSP. of organic and unrefined carrier oils (Use a lighter viscosity of carrier or base oils like apricot, safflower, sunflower or sesame for even application.)

• *5-10 drops of essential oils

Because salt absorbs, it is best to store it in a glass container if it will not be used immediately.
