They do list four others, though -- Green Tea & Ginkgo, Vitamin A&E, Honey & Calendula, and Peaches & Creme -- any idea if those are thick? That's a really great tip about weighing the salt bag before and after so you know how much you were able to get in. Kiss My Face has a list of their gluten-free products here:

It will take a while, but you are the patient sort, right? Be sure the water stays boiling. Keep adding salt until the water will take no more. Now you have a much greater concentration allowing you to dilute your lotion less. If qty of salt in the formula is critical, you'll want to start with a known qty of salt and weigh it at the end to determine how much you've used. Weights are more convenient than volume measures in this case.
