These Bubble Bath Salts are a fun unique twist on the traditional Bath Salt Recipe. Perfect for sore, tired muscles or for a nice relaxing bath. Great gift.
BUBBLE BATH
Now, if you have been following along, you know I like my Bath Salts. I have shared some of my Bath Salt Recipes with you here in the past. But this time I wanted to experiment and make a fancier version of the Bath Salts. I really like how these Bubbling Bath Salts turned out. These are so simple to make but seem really fun and fancy. My girls have been begging to take baths everyday since we made this…and with the weather changing soon…it is the perfect way to warm up!
ESSENTIAL OILS
The first batch we made, I added doTERRA’s essential oils Eucalyptus and Lavender, because the girls and I were sick. It was so soothing to breathe in these scents while relaxing in a hot bath. The nice thing is that you can totally customize them for the type of bath you want to take…Lavender before bed to relax, Citrus in the morning or afternoon to energize and reinvigorate your mind and body, or Eucalyptus if you are feeling under the weather.
HOW TO MAKE BATH SALTS
To make this, you will need the following ingredients:
Bubbling Bath Salts Recipe

-
Transfer into a clean, air-tight container.

BUBBLE BATH SALTS
These Bubbling Bath Salts creates some bubbles and the salts provide some great minerals to soothe your skin, remove impurities and detoxify your body. The warm bath water helps to open up the pores on your skin which also aid in the detoxification process…and depending on the essential oils you add, you also get the benefits of the different oils.
I found this great chart from Lindsey, who shared this on Hello Natural, when I was looking for different essential oil combinations and am excited to make this again depending on the type of bath we are needing.

DIY GIFT IDEAS
These are perfect for nice DIY gifts too! Make some for your friends for Valentine’s Day…or a special night in for you and your significant other. Add a special label to it with these printable labels. For these Bubbling Bath Salts I used these Embossed Silver Foil Labels from Avery. So easy to fill in the template and then print them out onto the labels…and I like how fancy they make the Bath Salts look…like you paid a lot of money for them from a high end spa!
Make your own labels, or download these labels on your own paper. I don’t normally use the Avery labels. Usually I just print out my handmade labels on some regular computer paper and then glue them onto the jar using a simple Elmer’s glue stick. I find it works so well and the label lays down nice and flat just like a sticker, but is so inexpensive.

These sound wonderful. I can’t wait to make my own batch.
Wow that is so cool can’t wait to make mine!
Interesting!
I live in Melbourne Australia & have just found your site, it’s fantastic! My daughter is turning 10 in a few weeks, she is having a pamper spa & sleep over party, as party favors this year we are making goats milk soap & we are also going to make these beautiful Bubbly Bath Salts instead of lollies. Can’t wait to see what other delights you come up with.
These sound wonderful! The different aromatherapy blends sound awesome! Thank you for this great project!!
I’ve never heard of using any salt other than Epsom salt. Is there a reason for the rock salt or kosher salt? Thanks for the info and idea.
this sounds like a neat recipe. i haven’t heard of the rock salt either.
I am a registered aromatherapist and I would strongly recommend not using clove oil for bath salts as recommended in the one image. Clove oil can irritate skin very easily and could cause a rash.
Also, in the blend that contains sage – I would switch to Clary Sage instead as it is in fact more balancing. Sage is a nervous stimulant and can cause heart palpitations. It also contains camphor which should be avoided during pregnancy.
All of the blends need to be carefully used around children as well as children under 10 should avoid some of the oils listed.
do you mean sea salt instead of rock salt? we use rock salt to melt the ice on the sidewalk.
Rock Salt.
What can I substitute if I don’t have rock salt?
Rock Salt is the best but maybe Epsom Salt or Kosher Salt might work.
Can you tell me why rock salt??
Barbara- I just like the size of the rock salt and it takes longer to dissolve. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Castile soap would work instead of body wash, right?
Courtney- Castille body wash should work. It just needs to be liquid. Hope this helps.
