Empty Essential Oil Bottles Bath Salt

Use Your Empty Essential Oil Bottles to Make Wonderfully Scented Mineral Salt Bath Soak.

I got excited about this idea, because I knew it would look beautiful sitting on my bathroom counter, and it would smell amazing. I was finding myself loaded with empty bottles that I hated to just pitch, when this empty essential oil bottles bath salt project came to mind.

There is not much I like better than to sink into a scorching hot bathtub at the end of the day. This empty essential oil bottles bath salt has absorbed lots of incredible essential oils and makes a hot bath so inviting and soothing.

If you are an oily person like me, you will soon find yourself inundated with empty bottles. I can’t bear to pitch them, yet I never knew exactly what to do with them before!

How To Make Your Empty Essential Oil Bottles Bath Salt:

You Only Need 3 Things!

Large, glass container

Epsom salts or mineral/dead sea salt

Lots of empty essential oil bottles

Gather your supplies onto a hard floor or table where you can clean up a salty mess easily. Begin by layering some salt in the bottom of your glass vessel.

Now you are ready to add oil bottles. Layer salt and open essential oil bottles over and over, as many times as you need to, using all your bottles.

Make sure the bottles have enough salt surrounding them, as the scent can become very strong if not enough salt is used.

After you complete your layering, top it all off with a extra thick layer of Epsom. Then put a lid on your container and sit it on your bathroom counter. I’m sure you will enjoy looking at it as much as I do!

The salts will begin to really take on the oils within a day or two.

How Do you Remove the Plastic Cap in an Essential Oil Bottle?

The bottles need to be uncapped and the plastic bit in the top (called an orifice reducer) needs to be popped out.

This allows all the spare drops of liquid gold to become one with your Epsom salts!

I happen to have a handy trick for doing this.

Take the unscrewed cap, line the threads of the cap up along the crevice between the orifice reducer and the bottle itself. With a little, firm tug, the orifice reducer should pop right out! Ta-da!

Using Your Bath Salts.

The longer this sits and stews, the stronger the scent seems to get. I have found that I only need 1 or 2 Tablespoons of the salt in my big garden tub. Start with a little, you can always add more if you want to.
