Using bath salts in your bath helps with muscle relaxation and toxins removal. I have shared earlier a recipe for making bath salts (see it here), but I recently received the mooncake molds and decided to try a modified version of the recipe and use the new mooncake mold to make bath salt bars. I was very pleased with how beautiful these bath salts bars turned out.

How to make bath salt bars
Ingredients & Materials:
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience, please see disclosure here.
- 8 oz of Epsom Salt
- 2 TBSP baking soda
- 1 TBSP distilled water
- 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil
- 15-20 drops of Lavender or Grapefruit Essential oil (or your favorite Essential Oil), you can purchase essential oils here.
- mooncake mold
- wisk
- glass bowl
Combine all the ingredients in a glass bowl and mix thoroughly with a wisk.
After combining all the ingredients, place the mix inside the mold and pack tightly. Press the mold in a flat surface and lift carefully.
I decided to add a bit more luxury to these bars and added a small amount of colored dead see salts and some glitter to the top for a more beautiful look.
Allow to dry for a few hours. The bars will be hard. In order to use simply toss one or two into the bath water and relax.
I think these turned out beautiful. These could be a great DIY gift for friends and family.

I’m wondering if these could be put in the oven on the lowest temp to dry them out faster? I have a convection oven. Has anyone tried it?
