DIY Bath Bombs
Servings 6 bath bombs
Cost $5
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Small drinking glass
- 1 Whisk
- Paper cups to use as a mold
Ingredients
- 1 cup Baking soda
- 1/2 cup Citric acid optional for fizzing
- 1/2 cup Epsom salt
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch
- 2 T Coconut oil
- 3/4 T Water
- Essential oil(s) 15 to 20 drops
- Food coloring 2 to 3 drops in the colors of your choice
Instructions
- Measure out the dry ingredients and whisk together in a large bowl.
- In a small glass, measure out the coconut oil. Melt and stir together with the water, essential oil, and food coloring.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients very slowly if you used citric acid. Adding the ingredients too quickly will cause it to fizz prematurely. Continue whisking together until the wet and dry ingredients are completely blended.
- Cut the top off of a recycled or disposable cup. Press some of the mixture into the bottom of the cup and smooth the top with your fingers or the base of a spoon.
- Let the mold sit for a minute and then pop out the bath bomb by gently flexing the cup. Repeat with additional colors and scents, if desired.
- Let your bombs dry for 24 hours before using.
Notes
If you don't have/want to use cups, I highly recommend using silicone molds. These work very well especially if you're going to make them year after year.
