What You’ll Need:

3 ounces Dead Sea salt
2 ounces pink Himalayan salt
2 ounces Epsom salt
0.5 ounces baking soda
0.5 ounces citric acid
1 mini scoop of bath bomb red powder color
20 drops Purely Peppermint fragrance oil

Directions:

In a glass mixing bowl, add 3 ounces of Dead Sea salt and 2 ounces Epsom salt. Add 10 drops of Purely Peppermint fragrance oil and use wire whisk to blend into salts.
In a separate bowl, add 2 ounces of pink Himalayan salt, 0.5 ounces citric acid and 0.5 ounces baking soda. Stir to combine, and use your hands to break up any clumps.
Add remaining 10 drops of Purely Peppermint fragrance oil and stir to thoroughly incorporate.
Add 1 mini scoop of bath bomb red powder color to second bowl containing pink Himalayan salt mixture. Mix well to incorporate color.
Place a small amount of the white Dead Sea salt and Epsom salt mixture into a jar. Using a squeeze bottle, small can or your fingers, press the mixture down to create a flat surface.
Place an equal amount of the now red Himalayan salt mixture on top of the white salt mixture, and use the squeeze bottle to flatten.
Repeat this process, alternating between the red and white salts until the jar is completely full.
