I have several adult friends who adore the Minions as much or more than their children! So, for any of you out there who love the Minions and enjoy a nice, warm, relaxing bath, here is a recipe for Minions Bath Scrub that you can easily make at home.
It’s a fun activity you could let older children help you make – also interactive home economics and simple science home school activity! At just 5 ingredients, that you can buy in bulk to save money and stretch, it’s also super affordable, and would make a fabulous homemade DIY gift for a Minions fan on your Christmas or a Birthday gift list!
I have several friends who’ve been encouraging me to try out coconut oil, sharing how great it can be to give your skin a nice little boost.

Minions Bath Scrub Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups of Epsom salt
1 cup of coconut oil
Yellow and blue food colouring
Lemon essential oil (suitable for home cosmetics making)
Directions
Combine the Epsom salt and coconut oil. Stir until mixed.
Add 5+ drops of Lemon essential oil.
Divide the Epsom salt and oil combination into 2 bowls.
In the first bowl add several drops of yellow gel food coloring.
Mix the yellow gel food coloring with the Epsom salt mixture until the colour is thoroughly blended. Add the lemon essential oil to the yellow Epsom salt.
In the second bowl add several drops of blue gel food coloring.
Mix the blue gel food coloring with the Epsom salt mixture until the color is thoroughly blended.
Choose a container or jar with a lid of your choice. A Mason jar would look amazing, but any jam jar is fine as long as it’s clean and the lid fits well.
Layer your prepared scrub with the blue on the bottom topping it off with the yellow bath scrub. Tie a yellow ribbon around the top of your bath scrub jar. Keep close to your bathtub to use when you bath or give a jar away as a gift, if you wish.

I’ve never tried coconut oil before nor have I ever made my own bath scrub. This would take care of both.
I’m not a fan and could never have children so I will pass along.
What a cute idea. Sounds like it would make a perfect gift or party favor.
This is nice. Very creative.
The yellow ribbon really sets it off – these would be great party favors at a kids birthday party too!
