[edit] History of bath salts
I've got a vague memory that bath salts were originally used to recreate the waters of a particular spa in one's own home, but I can't find any references. If you have any sources for the history of bath salts, please help. --Slashme 07:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Types of bath salts
We need some copy about the types of bath salts. There are fizzy, non-fizzy, and perfumed bath salts. Do any of them actually claim to be good for cleaning? I know some of them contain emollients. Please help. --Slashme 07:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Borax Is Toxic
The Wikipedia article on borax claims that borax is very toxic to people, so why would it be used as a bath salt?24.83.178.11 10:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)BeeCier
Its toxicity has obviously been exaggerated. It has a long history of safe use in bath salts, and is also in Boraxo powdered hand soap, which is for both institutional and home use. Boric acid solution has a long history of ophthalmic use.216.179.3.47 02:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)robgood@bestweb.net
[edit] Sourcing
How would one cite an ingredients label on a current or discontinued product as a source? It's public material, yet not what one would ordinarily think of as a "publication", and not archived in the usual places. It should be considered authoritative, as it must be substantially true by law, although mistakes and frauds may occur. 216.179.1.18 03:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)robgood@bestweb.net
