I would like to make homemade salt scrub recipes, which include 1 C. salt, oil, essential oils as gifts. Is this course grain good for that?

The grain is the size of small pebbles, or half dime size across. It is probably too big for a scrub.

I hate to be pessimistic because I had high hopes for these, but the effect if any was barely perceivable. Whereas I've used Masada Bath Salts and Epsom Salts and received some sensation or effect these pretty much just melted away. I'd say find stronger Himalayan Bath Salts, and if you do please comment which because I'd give the type of salt another go, just not this company's.

I like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

The oil we used is grape seed oil and it is so much better that veg.oil and we use sea salt instead of table salt. Sooo Good!!Hope this helps!

I have used it for cooking but make sure it truly does not have any added ingredients. You can 'test taste' a piece to see how it tastes. I put it in a salt grinder and grind it as i use it. I also add essential oils and use it as bath salt...

I vaguely remember using some mineral oil to clean my brushes some years ago but I'm not certain what it was (if it even was linseed oil). The product work very well, i have some in a mason jar mix with water (it has a very strong smell) in it. I also have this metal grate-like thingy to help clean it. I'd certainly say it's worth the price though, hope this helps

I use peanut oil as it has a high smoke factor - the tiniest bit of oil is used with stir fry , so shouldn't be a problem

I have owned one of these for many years. I didn't know about the salt mill so I would check and see if there really is a removable base on your mill. Also I would never use petrochemicals on anything that touches food. Use a food oil or wax for a lubricant. I am so glad that these mills are still for sale. I bought mine on a recommendation from the "Galloping Gourmet". He had a local TV show in San Francisco many years ago.

Hello Iris, I am in agreement with the other answers -you might be able to (possibly) use the finer grained Himalayan sea salt (not the regular salt sold in grocery stores). However, the directions said,"not to shake the comtainer". If you decide to try the finer grains, be careful not to shake the container, and/or wait until the "salt has settled". Also, if you want peace of mind, simply use the medium or larger chunks of the Himalayan pink sea salt!

Yes, this would work for any of those things. I would just make sure you have a neutral adjunct grain like rice to run through it after spices so you don't have cracked wheat tasting like cinnamon or cloves.

Absolutely! The oils are pure and strong! A little dab will do ya! The smell can be so strong it can make you ill!

You definitely don't need to buy this expensive, super finely granulated salt if you're going to dissolve it in the oil. Stick with a $1.50 box of salt for that.

My seedlings sprouted quickly in pure coir. I do not think the salt content is too high. I would not use it without other soil for sustained plant growth after a few days. I mix it in my garden beds and it has proven to be a good growth additive. It retains moisture and does not compact easily.

I have used regular popping corn and regular oil. Do need to season to taste afterwards. The ready made packets are convenient but for me a bit too salty

Sorry, I do not know and my husband isn't here. He is very aware of only using healthy oils in or on anything.

The infrared belt is a nice addition. My wife loves it. Simply plug it into the unit and enjoy heat while you bio cleanse. We use ordinary salt and warm water in the footbath. I'd say 1 teaspoon of salt is enough. Too much makes the unit run too many amps (sets off an alarm). Regular cheap salt is fine. PB
