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:
- In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the almond or coconut oil, water, essential oil, and food coloring (if using).
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly. The mixture should start to clump together.
- 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.
- Place the bath bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry. Let them sit for at least 24 hours to fully harden.
- 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:
- Fill your bathtub with warm water.
- Drop one bath bomb into the water and watch it fizz and dissolve.
- 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.
