Description

There's nothing quite like a relaxing bath at the end of a long day, and adding a bath bomb to the mix takes it to the next level. Bath bombs come in all shapes and sizes, but making your own is a fun and easy way to customize the experience. This recipe is perfect for beginners and uses simple ingredients that can be found at any grocery store or online.

Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

24-48 hours for drying

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2-3 tablespoons almond oil or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon essential oil (optional)
  • food coloring (optional)
  • witch hazel or water in a spray bottle

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • bath bomb molds
  • spray bottle

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch. Whisk together until well combined.
  2. If using essential oil and food coloring, add them to the almond or coconut oil in a separate bowl.
  3. Slowly add the oil mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly. The mixture should hold together when squeezed in your hand, but not be too wet.
  4. If the mixture is too dry, add a few spritzes of witch hazel or water from the spray bottle until it holds together.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the bath bomb molds, making sure to pack it tightly.
  6. Let the bath bombs dry in the molds for 24-48 hours, until they are completely hardened.
  7. Once dry, gently remove the bath bombs from the molds and store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Notes

  • It's important to pack the mixture tightly into the molds to prevent the bath bombs from crumbling.
  • If the mixture starts to fizz or expand when adding the oil mixture, you may be adding it too quickly. Slow down and whisk constantly.
  • These bath bombs make great gifts! Just wrap them in tissue paper or a small box.

Nutrition Info

Bath bombs are not for consumption and do not provide any nutritional value.

Recipes FAQ

What can I use instead of almond or coconut oil?

You can use any type of oil that is liquid at room temperature, such as olive oil, jojoba oil, or grapeseed oil.

What can I use instead of citric acid?

Citric acid is what creates the fizzing reaction in the bath bomb. You can substitute cream of tartar or lemon juice, but the reaction may not be as strong.

Can I use dried herbs or flowers in my bath bombs?

Yes! Just be sure to crush them finely and only use a small amount, as they can clog the drain.

Recipe Tips

  • Experiment with different essential oils and food coloring to create your own unique bath bombs.
  • If the bath bombs are sticking to the molds, try spraying them with a little bit of cooking spray before pressing in the mixture.
  • Don't have bath bomb molds? You can use silicone ice cube trays or even muffin tins instead.
  • If you live in a humid area, the bath bombs may take longer to dry. Try placing them in front of a fan to speed up the process.
