Homemade Peppermint Bath Salts

I made these great jars of bath salts for Christmas gifts this year.  I found the recipe online and would give credit to the site if I could find it again.  So if this is your recipe, thanks for the great recipe and gift idea.

This is all you need. 

Mix together the oils and then add the salts. 

I added one drop of coloring to make the mixture a soft pink.  Mix thoroughly. 

  Scoop into a wide-mouth jar.     

The recipe is for one 8oz. jar, which is enough for four baths.     

 

 

I added a label to the top and instructions on a tag that I tied on with a ribbon.

I then put tissue around each jar and placed it in a large cello bag, tied it with a ribbon and added a small ornament.  What a fun festive gift to give to all of your friends.

I doubled the recipe several times over and made a dozen of these to give away.  Here is the recipe I used.

Peppermint Salt Soak

You'll need:

• Glass or metal bowl
• 20 drops peppermint essential oil
• 3 tablespoons carrier oil (I used sweet almond oil or jojoba)
• Metal spoon
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 1/2 cup sea salt
• 8 oz jar, tub or tin with lid

Step 1:  Sterilized you materials in a hot-water bath (place in boiling water for 10 minuets, then set on a clean towel to dry).

Step 2:  In a glass or metal bowl, add essential oil and carrier oil to dilute it.  Add the Epsom salt and sea salt and mix thoroughly.

Step 3:  Scoop into a 8 ounce container.

To use:  Pour or scoop a fourth of the mixture under warn running water.  Allow the tub to fill before sinking into the soothing waters.  Enjoy!

That looks like fun. I wonder if you had more fun making them or if we had more fun receiving them? Way fun, I thought!
