These sell so well!!
I whipped up 8 batches for market this weekend. I made a cute label with a cow on it.... I sold all 8 and have people coming back next week for more. Plus it was so easy to make! I sold them for $6.00 each.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am hooked!

I did not cure it..used it the night I made it..but I bet it would be better if you let the FO sink in more. Not sure though..want to try the chocolate one..just have not had a chance yet..maybe tonight...it has been sitting for about a week..so I will let you know.

ummm..10-25 drops..with a dropper from a pipet or dropper bottle..it is less than 1ML of FO. I can't explain it any other way..or measure it any other way.  Sorry..pipets are VERY cheap..I keep one rubber banded around all my FO's that are B&B safe. I guess if you were going to make a large batch you could measure by tsp or 1/2 tsp...actually now that I think about it..20 drops is 3/16 tsp.(I did not figure this on my own..I used BitterCreeks chart for FO in B&B products..lol)

Thank you for this recipie, I made the one without salt today, with 25 drops of Lavender FO, and it smells soooooo good. I picked up standard medicine droppers to measure my FO. I also tried to add some b&b colour to make it a pale purple, but it did not mix, so, leave it white cant wait to get off work and have a bath tonight. Do you guys find 2 - 3 tbs per standard tub is enough?

Yea I thought about color also and then I thought..since it is so powdery it would clump..but the FO doesn't.
I use 3-4 in my tub..but it is a huge old tub with no overflow so I can fill it wayyyy to the top.

Pamperme-
I made single batches with the ingredients listed (the one with the epsom salt). The individual batch is what I put into a cello bag and sell for $6.00ea. I live in AK so everything costs more to buy so it is a good selling price for my area. Maybe too much for others... I do not know.
I did not weight the made batch. With CP'ing so much I like to get away for the scale sometimes and just use measuring cups and spoons! It is me being lazy...

Here is some info about milk baths
used by cleopatra as well
The lactic acid in milk is an alpha hydroxy acid, a natural occuring material that dissolves the stuff that holds dead skin cells together. Milk cleansea the skin down to its deepest layers.
Soak for a good 20 minutes in a milk bath and gently rub your skin with a washcloth or loofa to slough off the dead skin. Rinse thoroughly after soaking.
Hot baths are not good for your skin..warm baths are relaxing..
say to say I fall into the HOT bath category..usually when i get out my skin is bright red..hubby thinks I'm nuts.

More scent ideas:
Camomile
Lavender
Rose
Patchouli  read somewhere it is calming and an aphrodesiac(sp?)
Jasmine
Citrus
Peach (kinda like peaches n cream)
strawberry
peppermint
honey(maybe use powdered honey..anyone know where to get that..or I guess it should say honey powder..lol)
oooo bet OMH scent would be awsome!
and add on ideas:
add citric acid so it fizzes
add dried herbs
use goats milk
very fine ground oatmeal
buttermilk(can you get that in a powder?)
ok...I am going full throttle with this..maybe this will be my $$ ticket..lol..be a giant Milk bath wholesaler.lol

Pamperme,
Yes you can get buttermilk in a powder form, I saw it when i was buying my milk powder today at the bulk food store.
Modified to add:
I just used this , and my skin feels great, nice and soft. I am going to up my fragrance load just a little i think maybe to 30 - 35 drops, as I really like my baths to smell of what I've added to them. Do you think this will cause any problems?
I wonder about adding a little SLSA to make this a bubbling milk bath.

I knew I should've NEVER poked my nose in this section...LOL
Too late now
I actually recognize these ingredients! Is this dry milk powder the same kind of powered milk from the grocery store you can mix in water and drink? And is there a shelf life for this? I don't "pamper me" very often. Ok, so it was a poor joke
