Dead Sea Salt (Coarse Bath Salt)
Our Dead Sea Salt is a natural salt harvested from the Dead Sea, supplied as large, coarse, off-white granules. It is naturally rich in minerals, including magnesium, calcium, potassium and bromide, which sets it apart from ordinary table salt.
Makers use it for bath salts, foot soaks and body scrubs. The coarse crystals work well as a gentle exfoliant when blended with oil, and they look attractive in gift jars and bath salt blends.

How to Make a Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub and Soak
- Gather. 2 cups Dead Sea salt, 3 teaspoons raw honey, 6 drops pink grapefruit and 6 drops mandarin essential oil.
- Mix. In a bowl, stir the essential oils and honey through the salt until evenly blended.
- Wet your skin. In a warm (not hot) bath or shower, wet your skin.
- Scrub. Take a handful of the mix and massage it gently over your body, avoiding the face and any broken skin. Rinse well.
- Soak. Soak for up to 20 minutes, then rinse and moisturise.
Tip: Store blends in an airtight jar and keep them dry. Moisture will make the salt clump.
Usage Starting Points ▼
These are common starting points, not fixed rules. Results vary with your recipe, so always test a small batch first.
| Use | Starting amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bath soak | 1/2–1 cup per bath | Dissolve in running water. |
| Foot soak | 2 tbsp per bowl of warm water | Soak for about 15 minutes. |
| Body scrub | 2 cups salt to 1/4–1/2 cup oil | Add oil gradually until it feels right. |
| Essential oil in blends | About 5–12 drops per 2 cups of salt | Mix into the salt before adding to water. |
Keep essential oil levels low and always patch test finished products.
Tips & Troubleshooting ▼
| Problem | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Salt clumps in the jar | Moisture got in | Store in a sealed jar. Add a silica sachet, and break up lumps before using. |
| Scrub feels too rough | Coarse crystals | Use a finer salt or sugar, or add more oil. |
| Oil floats on the bath | Essential oil does not dissolve in water | Blend the oil with the salt, a carrier oil or milk before adding to the bath. |
| Stings on freshly shaved skin | Salt on irritated skin | Do not scrub straight after shaving or on broken skin. Use as a bath soak instead. |
