How To Make Pink Peppermint Bubbling Bath Soak
Isn’t this a fun spa craft? Pink Peppermint Bubbling Bath Soak! Bubbling Bath Soak is a scented bath salt that bubbles and fizzes when you sprinkle it in the bath. Like magic! Have you ever used a bath bomb? Same trick! In this version, we decided to dry the bath soak to make fizzing bath flakes.
Our Pink Peppermint Bubbling Bath Soak is made with two colors: pink and white. Then layered into the jar to get a peppermint stripe! We love it for a gift craft. It is so pretty!
Here’s the recipe if you want to copy it:
Recipe For Pink Peppermint Bubbling Bath Soak
3 Tbsp. Epsom salts
3 Tbsp. Baking soda
3 Tbsp. Kosher salt (or coarse sea salt)
2 tsp. Sour salt (also called Citric Acid)
5 Drops peppermint essential oil
10 Drops pink soap colorant
To Label The Bottle And Dress It Up You’ll Need:
Printed Out Label (available on RunningWithSisters.com)
Clear packing tape
Double-stick tape
1 Yard pink satin ribbon
1 Diamond and pearl shank button
Hot glue and glue gun
Scissors
You Will Also Need:
2 Mixing bowls
Spoon
Spatula
Cookie Sheet
Here’s What To Do
1. Wash the jar and remove the label. Remove the sell-by date with a nail polish remover pad. Let the bottle dry completely.
2. Mix together 3 tablespoons Epsom salts, 3 tablespoons baking soda, and 3 tablespoons kosher salt or coarse sea salt. Add 2 teaspoons of citric acid or sour salt. Add 5 drops of peppermint essential oil to the mixture. This will be your white layer.
3. Repeat step 2 to make a second batch and add to it 10 drops of pink soap colorant. Because the soap colorant has water in it, it will fizz a little when you ad it to the mix. And unless you dry the mixture, it will clump.
4. To dry the pink mixture, spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake it in a 200 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Check to be sure it is dry. Scrap the flakes off the pan with a spatula. (Alternatively, you can air dry the mixture overnight.)
5. Spoon a layer of pink bath flakes into the jar, then spoon in a layer of white. Repeat to fill the jar.
5. To label the jar, print out the label and cut it out. Laminate the label by covering the back and front with packing tape. Cut the label out again. Use double-stick tape to attach the label to the jar lid.
6. Tie the pink ribbon around the neck of the jar. Glue the pretty button onto the center of the bow using hot glue.

Happy Crafting,

I found adding everything but the citric acid and mixing makes it easier to mix the color in and doesnt waste any fizz. Once mixed well then add the acid and mix thoroughly.
Great R&D work Allan! Thanks for sharing the tip!

I would recommend adding a small amount of polysorbate 20 or 80 to help the oils and colourants disperse into the water. This also keeps the salt from fizzing and being activated. Very pretty end result.
Thanks for the tip Jessica!
J&K
@@TheONeilSisters you are so welcome!
hi.how much ml/gr should be used for this recipe polisorbat 20?
Did you know ???... It takes a full cup of Epsom Salt to get the benefits from your bath to relieve sore muscles? I thought I would share incase nobody knew this either. Thanks for sharing your recipe! ♡
Thanks for the tip Donna!
J&K
@@TheONeilSisters You bet! ♡
OMGoodness… I paused the video and did it with you. I used lemon verbena and sunset orange. It smells so awesome and the color is just perfect. When you said put it in the over to dry, I said wait I am gonna put it in my dehydrator. I can’t stop smelling my hands and my house smell like I’ve been cutting lemons. My roll up trays are fine after washing, no lingering smell or taste, ( yes I licked it 😛😂).
Wow that sounds wonderful! The dehydrator is perfect! Great thinking!
J&K
Great video.. and thank you for showing us how it fizzes at the end!! Not many people show a full” tutorial.. thank you!!! 🌻
Thanks Lori!!
J&K
I have been watching DIY Christmas videos for 3 days! Loved this idea because I did not run across anything that was fizzing. Lovely idea. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays : )
Yay! Happy Holidays to you too!
J&K
This in nice but actually it's fizzy and not bubbly... to make it bubbly you should add some powder SLSA ( foaming agent ). The tutorial it's very nice though!😍
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
J&K
Love the way you decorated the jar you should make a jar decorating video
Thanks Darricka!!
J&K
If you put the mixture into moulds before drying (and don't dry) this recipe will also make bath bombs.
Ooh! Great tip! Thanks!
muskndusk I came here because I make bath bombs 😆
This was a great video! Well made and easy to follow. Love it.
Thanks Nicole!
I forgot to add, your instructions are great! Thank you for the prompt response. I'm making coconut lemon but, how can I add the coconut scent? Thank you!
+airamsasuet We have made coconut scented bath goodies using soap fragrance. You can get it with soap making supplies at the craft store. Amazon might have it too. Hope that helps!
Very cute! Gonna get into the habit of making this since I love to use it!
Thanks!
Great video. So thorough (sp?). Thank you for showing it action!!!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful
Thanks so much Melissa!
Jennifer & Kitty
I will try when back home. bless you
I think you can make blue peppermint bubbling bath soaks for a Hanukkah present. I am not Jewish but was wondering if the stripes on candy canes can be blue and white for Hanukkah. I did see those candy canes on a holiday website.
Fun idea! So creative!
J&K
Great video, thank you so much! I was thinking you could use some double stick packing tape for the back side of your label. Just a thought! I'm going to try this right now! Thanks again ❤
Good thought! Thanks for sharing!
J&K
I love this tutorial!
Thanks Kathy!

Could I add oils and butters to this recipe? I think melted coconut oil or shea butter would be so soothing.
Great question Gabrielle! The recipe is made with dry ingredients to keep the fizzy stuff (the baking soda and citric acid) from starting to fizz. (It fizzes a little when you add the essential oil and color, but then you let it dry out again.) If you added other liquids it would activate the fizzing while you are mixing it up. So it works better to keep these ingredients dry. Then when it hits the tub water you get the fizzing effect. Hope that makes sense. We have lots of other spa recipes on our blog RunningWithSisters.com including some that use oils and butters. Maybe you can find something there! Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty
Sweet I love this for teenagers.
Yes fun for that age group for sure! Thanks for watching! J&K
Best recipe I've seen...love it. And very thorough. New subscriber here!!
Wow so nice!! Thank you! J&K
@@TheONeilSisters great video! Im having a horrible time with bath bombs & ur tutorial was very nicely made alternative! Thanks sooo much! Saadiqah
So glad you found our tutorial and liked it! Thanks!
Very nice &detailed video, love it 😍
Can i use lemon salt instead of the citric acid or will that affect the fizzing?
Great question! The citric acid is part of the fizzing action, so you won't want to leave it out. Here's the complete how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/
Cheers,
Jennifer & Kitty
Glad i asked before trying, thank you 💜
Wonderful video! very easy to follow and informative! Could I use mica colouring instead? ( hopefully can cut out drying time!)
Hmmm....seems like you could. And yes, it would cut out the drying time. Let us know if you try it!
J&K
Wow I love you so much
Thanks so much!
J&K
I just subscribed--loved the tutorial and will try very soon😘
Thanks for subscribing Deborah!
I subscribe the moment you told me to use soap dye instead of food dye major kudos...... now let me actually watch the recipe I literally stopped at that moment
Thanks for noticing! LOL!
Such a great tutorial! What size is the jar shown in the video and approximately how many ounces of bath salt does it fill? Thanks in advance!
Thanks Lauren! Wish we had written that down, but the batch makes more than enough for that jar. It was probably a jelly jar. (We look for cute jars at the grocery store and reuse them.) Here's the written how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/
J&K
Did you have any issues with putting the mixture in a glass jar? I've heard that when baking soda and citric acid are placed together in a glass jar with the salts it can cause the jar to explode.
We've never had any problem with that. Here's the written how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/
Hope that helps!
J&K
I think I'd put it in my KitchenAid mixer after drying to make sure it's broken up all the chunks
That would certainly mix it up well!
J&K
Thank you,That's beautiful! Can you make rose or any other scent?
+airamsasuet Sure! Make it any scent you like!
Do you need the sour salt and baking soda
Great question! The sour salt and baking soda make this fizz so they are the "bubbling" part. Without them, you would have a nice recipe for bath salts. Should work just fine.
Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/
Hope that helps!

Can you use lavender epsom salt?
Sure! That sounds yummy!
J&K
What size jar is that?? I need the rough measurement to make 500ml mason jars of this. Can you help? Thanks for the great video. Can’t wait to try it :)
We're not sure Kris. Sorry we didn't keep track of that. Thanks for watching the video!
J&K
How does baking soda help ?
Great question! The baking soda and the citric acid react to create the fizzing bubbles.
Here's the how-to on our blog:

Cheers,
Jennifer & Kitty
Can you use it on your hair?
Hmmm...we don't think so.
J&K
And cutting the ribbon at an angel prevents the edges from fraying.
Yes!!
But anyway the jar is cute dune this way.
Thanks Christy!
Your welcome.
Do you dry the white mixture the same way as the pink mixture
Great question! You only need to dry the pink mixture because we added liquid to it (the color). Here's a step-by-step how to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/
J&K
Can I use Himalayan salt instead of the kosher salt
You can use any salt as long as it isn't too big and scratchy. :)
What’s used to make it a bubbling product ???
The bubbling, fizzing effect comes from the baking soda and citric acid (sour salt).
J&K
Awesome ❤💙💚
Thanks!!
How long does this last ?
Hmm...great question! Do you mean how long will it stay good in the jar? A long time! How long until you use it up? Pretty quick since it is so fun to use!
Jennifer & Kitty
I could not find the label anywhere on your linked site, please add link
So sorry Molbella!! We had the site redeisgned and it must have gotten lost. We reuploaded it. Here's a link: runningwithsisters.com/pink-peppermint-bubbling-bath-soak/ Let us know if you have any problems downloading it! J&K
In a typical bath, how much is used - few tablespoons, whole jar ....???
Just a few tablespoons!
do you need to dry it out?
Yes. If you don't dry it out it will clump together in the jar. Hope that helps!
Jennifer and Kitty
Dry the pink bath salts mix on a cookie sheet in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes.
J&K
What's the kosher salt for ? Thanks x
Hi Rachel, The salt is a skin softener. You can leave it out if you like.
J&K
@@TheONeilSisters ahhh that makes sense thanks for the reply x
DOES THIS ACTUALLY BUBBLE LIKE BUBBLE BATH SOAP?
Great question! This bubbling bath soak fizzes when it's poured in water. It doesn't really bubble up like traditional bubble bath. Hope that helps!
love that than you
Thanks so much!
Use with caution if you have high blood pressure.
Thanks Pamular!
Why how does it effect high blood pressure?
Wats the purpose of citric acid in bath salts
Great question! The citric acid is the ingredient that creates the bubbling effect.
Cheers,
J&K
The O'Neil Sisters Thank you!
We just looked it up again and the bubbling, fizzing effect comes from the baking soda together with the citric acid (sour salt).
J&K
This worked ok girl🥵🥵
Great to hear!

Be careful when mixing this with your hands. These ingredients are murder on finger nail polish. It can really ruin a manicure, if you're mixing by hand but not when added to water. :) Great video!
+MACTackleBox Oh yes! Definitely wear gloves if you have nice nail polish. (Or any cuts on your hands!) Thanks for the reminder!
