Rainbow bath salts are a fun way to make layered Epsom salts to use in the tub. Let your child relax in the tub with these DIY bath salts.

Using only three ingredients and a container, you can make rainbow baths alts in just minutes. You will need to use Epsom salts, food coloring (or liquid watercolors), essential oils, and a container to store the bath salts in.

Homemade rainbow bath salts are easy to make and completely customizable – you decide the color scheme and fragrance that best suits your mood.

I use mica powder in these DIY bath salts.


  • You will need to divide the Epsom salts into different containers.
  • Put 1/4 cup in each container.
  • Then, add 1/2 tsp of mica powder to get the color that you want. Repeat for every color of the rainbow.
  • Mix to blend.
  • Pour the Epsom salts into a large container in layers.

When it comes to adding Epsom salt to bathwater, you should use about a cup for each tub of water. You can also add lavender essential oil to the bath along with the salts or just have a hot bath and soak in the benefits that come from soaking your sore muscles and tissues with Epsom salts.


Use mica powder for the most vibrant colors.
