Creating three colored layers of pretty bath salt, this recipe makes a wonderful gift.

Ingredients

  • 5 drops yellow food coloring
  • 2 drops red food coloring
  • 4 drops musk fragrant or essential oil
  • 3 drops Jasmine fragrant or essential oil
  • 3 C. epsom salts
  • 1 C. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. liquid glycerin (skin moisturizer) (optional)

Directions

Combine baking soda, epsom salt and glycerin until well blended. Add scents stirring until there is no clumps left. It will be a fine powder. Divide the mixture evenly into 3 separate bowls. In the first bowl add 3 drops yellow food coloring, in the second add 3 drops red food coloring and in the third bowl add 2 drops yellow with 1 drop red food coloring. Stir each bowl until the color is well mixed. Allow the air to dry it for a few hours before placing in a bottle. Once dried, layer the colors in an airtight glass jar starting with red first, then orange then lastly yellow. To use, add 2-3 tsp. of the mixture to running bath water. Soak as desired.

Note: Liquid glycerin used as a skin moisturizer, is a by-product of soap making. Glycerin can be found at health food stores, some drug stores, or major department stores depending on where you live. It’s also readily available on the internet as well.
