Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • ½ cup citric acid
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup epsom salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 15-20 drops essential oils
  • 1 tsp vanilla optional
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Add dry ingredients to a medium-size bowl, stir well.
  • Mix in the coconut oil, essential oils, and vanilla. Whisk together until well combined. 
  • Using a spray bottle, spray the mixture with water until the ingredients hold together when squeezed in your hands.  Just do one spray at a time (it is easy to oversaturate)
  • Prepare your bath bomb molds by greasing them with coconut oil.
  • Press the mixture into both sides of the bath bomb molds and then place the two halves together.  Wipe the excess mixture off the sides and set aside. 
  • Allow the molds to sit for 24-48 hours or until completely dry and then pop out of the molds.
