Betsy's Infusion Notes:

Bath Use: Add 1/2 cup to a warm bath. Stir water to help dissolve salts and distribute oils evenly. Soak for 20–30 minutes.

Jar Decor Idea: Add a ribbon and label for a beautiful homemade gift.

Safety Tip: If using oils, bath surface may become slippery – use caution.

Shelf Life: Best used within 6 months. Store in a dry area to avoid clumping.

Sensitive Skin: Perform a patch test before use if concerned about essential oil sensitivity.
