How to Make Pink Bath Salts

You can make your bath salts any color you like.

Bath salts are an inexpensive luxury that can be fun to create at home. You can make them pretty as well by adding food coloring to create whatever color you want. Put them in a decorative jar and they make great gifts.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups Epsom salts
• 1 cup sea salt or rock salt
• 1/4 teaspoon glycerin
• 3–5 drops red food coloring
• 1–2 drops essential oil
• Pretty glass jar with a lid

Instructions

1. Mix the Epsom salts together with the sea salt or rock salt.

2. Stir in the glycerin, food coloring, and essential oil.

3. Spoon the salts into your jar and tightly secure the lid. If you do not tighten the lid the smell will permeate the room. Lavender, orange, vanilla, peppermint, and rose essential oils all work great when making bath salts: the rose, lavender, and vanilla essential oils are very relaxing bath salt scents, while orange and peppermint are very invigorating.

Tips & Warnings

• Use food coloring to create all sorts of colors or stick to the simple primary colors. To create purple mix together a drop of red food coloring and a drop of blue food coloring. To create orange mix red with yellow. To create a lovely teal color mix blue with green.
