DIY Pina Colada scented bath salts recipe
If you’re looking for a bath salt recipe to make with the refreshing scent of pineapple and coconut, these DIY bath salts will take you to paradise. Learn how to make bath salts with coconut oil with the recipe below.
Yields 2 1/2 cups of Pina Colada bath salts. Do not eat.
- Epsom salt (get a great epsom salt for soaking here)
- baking soda
- coarse sea salt
- coconut extract, or 10 drops coconut oil
- pineapple extract or flavoring (for scent only)
- Optional: yellow food coloring
How to make your own pina colada bath salts
1. In a medium mixing bowl, add both salts and the baking soda. Whisk to blend well.
2. Next, add the coconut oil or extract and pineapple flavoring and stir for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate. If you have some sort of pineapple oil, I am sure this would work as well.
3. Since both the coconut and pineapple oils are clear in color, the bath salts will be white. If you prefer the salts to have color, add a few drops of yellow food gel (optional). I added 2 drops to achieve the color in the photos.
4. Finally, transfer the bath salt mixture to an airtight container and store it for up to 6 months.
Using your pineapple coconut bath salts

2. Sit back and enjoy this tropic bath soak for at least 30 minutes. Relax and immerse yourself in the amazing pineapple and coconut scent as they take you away to your own tropical paradise!

This is a go to recipe for me. I love it! I do leave out the baking soda so it doesnt harden.
What’s pineapple flavoring. Like pineapple juice or pineapple concentrate. Stumped
Use a pineapple extract!
Bonjour j’aimerais avoir la recette en Français SVP
This sounds amazing! My question for you is does it clump or stick together? I’ve got a super cute bottle to put it in, but it’s like a wine bottle with a funny stopper that I can pour from, but not use a scoop.
What pineapple flavoring do you use? Is it an oil?
It’s the pineapple flavored food extract, but you can definitely use the oils too!
This is a wonderful recipe that would smell so good to use on my skin. I love coconut infused products and want to make your amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing.
I have never done my own scented bath salts before. I bet this smells heavenly.
