Bubbling Lavender Bath Salts Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup epsom salts
• 1/8 cup lavender shampoo or body wash
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil (melted)
• 1 drop lavender essential oil (be sure to check out this post on how to get essentials oils for cheaper with no commitment!)
• Purple food coloring (optional)

Directions:

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well.  I used just a little bit of purple food coloring to get that color in my bath salts.  It is completely optional but does make this a bit brighter in color.  You will then want to spread the bath salts out on a covered cookie sheet and let them dry out for at least 24 hours.  This will ensure that your lavender bath salts are ready to package.

You can then add them to a jar and they are ready for gift giving.  I love to use these small squat jars.  You can also add a small scoop when giving as a gift.

Mom will love relaxing in a bubbling bath as an amazing Mother’s Day gift that she will never forget.  Whip up these bubbling lavender bath salts and give her the gift of her dreams!
