With St. Patricks day coming up around the corner it’s such a great time to whip up some homemade gifts to give out to your loved ones. I made these Homemade DIY Mint Bath Salts as a present to myself and they turned out so cute I made a few more batches!
These 4 ounce Mason Jars work very well for the bath salts and only cost a little more than $1. Combine with an adorable Homemade Mint Bath Salt Printable that we created and you have yourself a 5 minute gift.
You can either make the mint bath salts with mint extract or peppermint essential oil.
Homemade DIY Mint Bath Salts Ingredients and Instructions
- 1 Tbsp Baking Soda
- 2 Cups Epsom Salt
- 3-4 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 4 Drops green food coloring (optional)
- Homemade Mint Bath Salt Printable
- Airtight Container - 4 ounce Mason Jars work very well.
- Combine your baking soda, Epsom salt and peppermint essential oil in a small mixing bowl.
- Using a spoon stir the mixture together and make sure it’s combined nicely.
- Add in your 4 drops of food coloring and stir until all the Epsom salt is covered in a minty green color. If you would like your mixture darker just add in a few more drops and be sure to mix well.
- Since we are using such a small amount of food coloring it will not color your skin and it will not ruin your bath tub. The food coloring is optional though.
- Spoon your mixture into an airtight container and store for up to 6 months.
- Place a lid on your container and tie with a pretty ribbon and don’t forget the free printable!

So glad you like it!
My aunt gave me many mint plants and I’ve harvested lots of mint & made mint extract. This will be a great gift to make with some of it. Pinned! Thanks for sharing your recipe! (Visiting from Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop)
