Can I use Epsom salt in the salt bars?
Hi Angela! Salt bars usually do best with table, canning or most sea salt. Epsom salt and dead sea salts have been known to cause weeping and oozing in salt bars, so aren’t recommended.
Gaah! I hate when I leave spelling errors. I meant YOUR book. I’m sure you knew that but I just can’t let it go :)
No problem! I do the same! :)
So excited!! I just ordered your new book!! Can’t wait! I wish you much success! You are awesome!
Thank you Sharon! I appreciate the support & hope you enjoy the book!! :)
Very nice! I love that project! :)
OMG Jan! Sorry! Totally wrong comment for you. That was supposed to go on another blog I was apparently reading at the same time. You must think I’m nuts!
Wow love your stuff!! I will be ordering your book as soon as I have a few $$$$. Thank You so much!
Hi Susie, Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipes! :)
Hi Jan, your book arrived in the post today. It is lovely, the whole package is great, the photos are beautiful. Never mind all the delicious content – What a project – you should be darn proud of yourself. I do hope you’ve got some kind of decent deal on the sales – one can tell it’s a labour of love. I shall doubtless be purchasing more copies as pressies. It is a delight to own a copy.
Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for the kind words about the book! I’m happy to hear that you liked it! :)
Hi. Just bought your kindle version from Amazon UK.
Hi Lyn, Thank you so much for the support! I hope you enjoy it! :)
From one VA gal to another, thanks for the recipes, and your book is awesome. Looking forward to making many recipes out of it.
Hi Debbie! I’m so happy that you like the recipes & the book! :)
Your book is awesome. Such an easy read! Thanks for all that you do.
Thank you so much Anna! :)
Made the rose salt scrub cubes today! Love it as it leaves my feet soft and clean and I love the pink hue colour of the salt. Only thing is I live in a tropical country so the oils started to melt pretty much as soon as I got it out of the fridge! Won’t be able to store it in solid cubes. Guess I will just have to store in a jar and scoop out a bit for each use. Thanks for sharing! Wish I could show you a photo of my cubes.
Hi Sue! I’m so happy that you like the recipe! That’s a great idea about storing it in a jar and scooping out as needed. I’d love to see a photo! If you’re on Facebook, you can post it right on my wall:

Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for letting me know! My publisher granted permission to Reformation Acres to reprint the recipe, but I’m so appreciative of you for keeping an eye out for my content! That means a lot to know that someone has my back & is looking out for me!! :)
Hi! I just discovered your blog and it couldn’t have come at a better time! Just moving in with my boyfriend on an island in Maine, with enough space for a garden of all kinds of herbs and veggies! I have seen you refer to a few places to buy seeds here and there and they have been so helpful! As well as giving me a whole new inspiration to sow some seeds and create some pretty awesome things with them!
So thank you!
How fun! I hope you enjoy growing your garden! :)
Thank u!!
Hi Tami! You’re welcome & I hope you have a great day! :)
Thank you! Would wild rose petals work for the rose scrub bars? I think they are Baldhip roses, not sure though.
Hi Grace! They sure will! Any type of rose will work. :)
Hi Jan. Thank you for sharing both knowledge and recepies with us:) I enjoy reading and enjoy making soap. I have a husband and he has really problem with his skin in head and face. Its almost like psoreasis. I just wandered it the dandelion salt bar could be something he can use in these places, but i know coconut oil is really rough with the skin and therfor i normally dont use more than max 25 procent of coconut oil in my soaps. Do you think this dandelion salt bar will be bad for him because of the high amount of coconut oil?
Hi Heidi! The dandelion salt bar can be abrasive, so I think it would scratch sensitive facial skin. Coconut oil products in general may be a little harsh for his skin – it’s been known to aggravate redness and itching. Has he tried washing with raw honey or using the oil cleansing method? Rosehip seed oil and sea buckthorn oil are two that are supposed to be really great for psoriasis and tough skin conditions. Tamanu oil is another option that might help. I hope you’re able to find just the thing to help his skin feel better soon! :)
