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 one or two tablespoons to warm bath water.

Does the food coloring stain the tub?
what is empsom salt
Can you use lemon JUICE instead of lemon OIL?
was that a stupid question...?
Not a stupid question!!! I don't think lemon juice will work...the salts will desolve as they would in water. Also, the aroma in the l. juice is VERY mild compared to the oil so you will not have the intensity of fragrance.
We used this for a craft for our MOPs group. They absolutely loved it!!!! I used pure lemon oil (local health food store in the cooking section). It worked great and has incredible aroma.
A 5oz bottle of Lemon Oil contains approx. 30tsp. and a 4lb bag of Epson Salt contains approx. 7-8c.
Using a kid's medicine syringe to measure out the oil works awesome!! We mixed our ingredients together, VERY GENTLY, in a re-sealable sandwich bag--less mess!
For the jars, we used the Ball "Elite Collection-brushed silver design", 1/2 pint (8oz) jars w/wide mouth lids, about 2"h x3"x3" (4jars/pkg). WAY CUTE!!! This fit well into our group's small budget!! Thanks!!!!!!
