Yield 6 bath bombs
Equipment
- Bath bomb molds
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup epsom salt
- 2 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons water
- 5 drops lime essential oil
- 4 drops lemon essential oil
- 4 drops orange essential oil
- 3 drops tangerine essential oil
- 2 drops spearmint essential oil
- Mica powder for coloring optional
Instructions
- Grease molds with a small amount of coconut oil and set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. If using colorants, transfer to 3 small individual bowls and add colors of choice. (Approximately 1/2 tsp per bowl, adjust for preference)
- Next, whisk together the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Add essential oils and mix well.
- Transfer wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add the mixture to both sides of the bath bomb molds, then press the two halves together. Wipe the excess mixture off the sides and set it aside.
- Allow the molds to sit for 24-48 hours or until completely dry and then pop out of the molds.
Notes
To get the bath bombs out of the molds, gently tap the top of the mold with a spoon, then twist both halves in opposite directions to separate. For best results, allow your bath bomb to sit for an additional 24 hours once it is out of the mold before using it.
Store your bath bombs in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. A basket works well for this!
