What’s happening?
Bath Salts are typically made from Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate), table salt (sodium
chloride) or washing soda (sodium carbonate). The chemical make up of the mixture makes
it easy to form a lather. Bath salts are said to improve cleaning and deliver an appealing
fragrance when bathing.
