Ultimate Relaxing Bath Bombs
What better way to wind down after a long day than a warm bath and homemade relaxing bath bombs?
Servings: 4 bath bombs
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda 10 oz
- ½ cup citric acid 4 oz
- ½ cup cornstarch 2.5 oz
- ¼ cup Epsom salt 2.1 oz
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil 2 oz
- 15-20 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla optional
- Natural purple dye optional
- Dried lavender buds optional
- Water
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium-size bowl. Stir until well incorporated.
- Add in the coconut oil, essential oils, vanilla, and food coloring if using. Whisk together until well combined.
- With a spray bottle, spray the mixture with water until the ingredients hold together when squeezed in your hands. Only do one spray at a time so it doesn't get to wet.
- Prepare your bath bomb molds by greasing them with coconut oil.
- If using dried lavender buds or flower petals, put a small amount into one side of the bath bomb mold.
- Press the mixture into both sides of the bath bomb molds and then put the two sides together. Rub 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.
Notes
- This will make approximately 4 bath bombs depending on the size mold you use.
- If you have trouble getting the molds to release, try tapping them with the blunt end of a butter knife. That will help break them free.
- On nights you don't have time for a bath, you can get similar relaxing benefits in the shower with homemade shower bombs or shower melts!
- Allow the bath bombs to dry fully before removing them from the molds. If you remove them too early, they may crumble and not hold their shape.
