Lemon Bath Salts
by Jane Lake
If you know someone who adores the refreshing scent of lemon, then this lemon scented bath salts recipe would be an ideal gift to make for them.
It's easy to prepare and we have a free printable label to help you decorate the jar.
Lemon Scented Bath Salts
- 1 cup of Epsom Salts
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Oil
- 2 or 3 drops of yellow food coloring

For a layered look, divide the epsom salts into two bowls. Add 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil to each bowl. Add 2 drops of lemon food coloring to one of the bowls. Stir each bowl thoroughly to distribute the color and scent, set aside overnight, then layer the two colors in a jar.
To use, add two or three tablespoons to warm bath water.

I'm making this for a 4-H camp craft class. I found Lemon Verbena oil (couldn't find regular lemon oil) at the craft store that stated it was especially for making lemon scented bath and beauty products. It was $2.99 for a small bottle, but has a powerful smell and will work great if you're only making 1 or 2 batches.
Can you use lemon extract instead of lemon oil? I'm just wondering cos I'd like to make this but I only have lemon essence in my cake decorating box so I was thinking that might work? Please reply!
yes you can, i done it and it works really well! i also used green food colouring!!
