How To Make a Bath Bomb

Bath bombs are a fun and easy way to enhance your bath time experience. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and scents, and can be easily customized to your liking. Making your own bath bombs is a great way to save money and ensure that you are using natural and safe ingredients.

Here’s how you can make a bath bomb:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup citric acid
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 1/2 tablespoons almond oil or melted coconut oil
• 3/4 tablespoon water
• 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oil
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch until well combined.
2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond or coconut oil, water, essential oil, and food coloring (if using).
3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly. The mixture should start to clump together.
4. Once the mixture starts to clump together, you can begin molding it into bath bombs. Use your hands to pack the mixture into a ball shape, pressing firmly to make sure it holds together.
5. Place the bath bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry. Let them sit for at least 24 hours to fully harden.
6. Once your bath bombs are dry and hard, you can store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them.

Using the bath bomb:

1. Fill your bathtub with warm water.
2. Drop one bath bomb into the water and watch it fizz and dissolve.
3. Climb into the tub and enjoy a relaxing bath.

Note: Be careful when stepping out of the bathtub as the oils in the bath bomb may make it slippery.

Making your own bath bombs is a simple and rewarding process. With a few ingredients and some patience, you can create a luxurious bath time experience that is both relaxing and invigorating. Experiment with different scents and colors to create a unique and personalized bath bomb that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
