Salt makes a beautiful bar of soap which is often marketed as a spa bar. But why would you use salt in your handmade soap? Well, just like the effect of sea water on the skin, salt can be amazing for drawing out toxins and for acne related problems. Sea salt in particular contains various trace minerals such as iron, zinc and potassium as well as calcium. Salt is also anti-bacterial and surprisingly can be deeply soothing hence the benefits that are said to be obtained from salt baths.
