Equipment

  • Bath Bomb Molds

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces epsom salt
  • 2 ounces citric acid
  • 2 ounces cornstarch
  • 4 ounces baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil or carrier oil of choice
  • 1/2 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon yellow mica powder
  • 20 drops coconut fragrance oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the epsom salt, citric acid, cornstarch, and baking soda. Use a whisk to stir the mixture thoroughly for a few minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Add the yellow mica powder to the dry mixture and continue stirring until the color is evenly distributed.
  • In a separate jar, combine the carrier oil, water, and coconut fragrance oil. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to blend the ingredients.
  • Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously. Take your time and add the liquid one drip at a time to ensure proper incorporation. Keep whisking until the entire mixture has the same texture throughout.
  • Fill both halves of the bath bomb molds with the mixture, slightly overfilling each side. Press the two halves together firmly and give them a quick twist to secure them in place.
  • Allow the bath bombs to set in the molds for about 6 hours. Once they are partially dry, carefully remove them from the molds and let them finish drying completely.
  • If the bath bombs don't release easily, gently tap the bottom of the molds with a spoon to help loosen them.
