Makes 7 medium bath bombs
- ½ cup baking soda
- ¼ cup epsom salt
- ¼ corn starch
- ¼ cup citric acid
- 2 tbsp SLSA
- ¼ tsp pink mica powder
- 1.5 tbsp carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, coconut oil, vitamin e, or shea butter
- 1 tsp water
- 12 drops ylang ylang essential oil
- 6 drops grapefruit essential oil
- 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 3 drops lime essential oil
- Bath bomb molds
Directions:
Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl – baking soda, epsom salt, cornstarch, citric acid, SLSA, and mica powder and whisk together, until fully combined.
Add the sweet almond oil, water, and the essential oil blend to a small bowl, and stir.
Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, while whisking the bath bombs mixture the entire time.
Fill each half of the bath bomb mold, then press together.
Allow to set for about 8 hours, then unmold.
Repeat with any excess mixture.
Here are a few tips for storing your homemade bath bombs:
– Make sure they’re completely dry before storing them. If they’re even slightly damp, they could start to fizz and fall apart.
– Store them in an airtight container. I like to use mason jars or tupperware containers.
If stored properly, bath bombs will last up to a year.
Fill your bathtub with warm water. Once the tub is filled, place the bath bomb in the bath water. The hottest part of the tub is usually around the drain, so positioning your bath bomb there will help it dissolve quicker. As the bath bomb dissolves, it will release fragrances and color into the water. Enjoy!
