You likely already know the benefits of adding Epsom salt to the water when you take a bath. The salt soothes your sore muscles making a hot bath is even more relaxing. Make your soak in the tub better yet by scenting the Epsom salts with your favorite fall scent. In just a few minutes you can have super fragrant pumpkin spice Epsom salts. Use the salts yourself or package them up as a thoughtful hostess gift this autumn.
Watch this short video to see how to make your own pumpkin spice Epsom salts. I have tons of fun creative videos on my YouTube channel. Hop over and check them all out!
You can add as much or as little of the pumpkin spice emulsion as you would like, but I recommend starting with a small amount since the scent is quite strong. You can always add more, but you can’t take away what you have already added. I used 1/2 tablespoon of the emulsion for 2 cups of Epsom salts, and it is plenty fragrant.
The MICA powders are totally optional and can also be replaced with regular food coloring. I prefer to use these powders as it is much easier to get them to evenly color the salt. Use whatever you have on hand, or skip coloring the salt completely!

I made the pumpkin spice one for a few people. I have a question. Is there any way using mica colors can turn the tub the color? Or your hands when handling it?

The powder can temporarily color skin or surfaces, but it will wash off. It is the same ingredient that is used to color eyeshadow.
