Type of salts

Bath salts are being sold all over the U.S. with names like “Ivory Wave,” “White Lightning” and “Hurricane Charlie.” They are not the type of salts you would add to your bath, however; these so-called bath salts are intended to be snorted, smoked or injected – and users are getting high off of them.
Would it be correct to say "types of salts," not type of salts?

Hi, Here, bath salts, such as ‘ Ivory Wave’ , ‘ White Lightning’ and ‘ Hurricane’ , are treated as a single unit—hence the singular form ‘type’. I would, then, leave this sentence as it is. Regards

Thank you, Regards.
I still don't understand why those three bath salts are treated as a single unit.
