    Just made my first batch of the Peppermint Bath Salts and love the scent wafting through my kitchen. I did change a few things. First added double the drops of red food coloring because I like a deep red in my candy cane look. Next I tilted my jars just a little to give them a swirled layered look. They look fabulous!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!!

    Can you use the peppermint oil in the baking section of the grocery store? Making this tonight and leaving for the store now to hand out tomorrow. !!!

      Hi Amanda,
      The peppermint at the grocery store is extract for food, not essential oil that you want to use here. You need to go to a place like GNC or a vitamin shop for essential oils.

    Would like to know if rock salt (used in making ice cream, cooling, ice/snow) would also work?

    Reply
    • Amanda Raz says

      December 19, 2013 at 4:33 pm

      I doubt it. Epsom Salt is a first aid “body care” item and rock salt is for food.

    The food coloring in the bath salts will not stain anything, correct?

        No… I’ve never had an issue with staining, as long as you use just a few drops. Hope that helps! 😉

      Try using pink himayayan salt rather than food coloring for the pink/red then its 100% natural
