Learn How to Make Your Own Bath Bomb with just a few ingredients for a nice relaxing hot bath.
I love taking bubble baths. Back in the day I remember these little oil packets I would buy to throw in the tub and they would dissolve. I never knew what they were for, but they would make the water smell amazing.
Then I discovered bath bombs. Little balls of fizz that you add to your bath for a nice relaxing bath, they can be full of essential oils and salts that make for a perfect bath experience. Bath bombs sell for around $4-$10 each. I can't image buying a $10 bath bomb! I love a bargain so I always choose to make my own, which costs less than $1.50 each.
Bath bombs are fairy easy to make yourself as long as you have the correct measurements so they are not too wet and not too crumbly.
How to Make Your Own Bath Bomb:
Materials:
- ½ cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ¼ corn starch
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 drops therapeutic grade essential oil (peppermint, lavender, lemon)
- bath bomb mold
- measuring cups
- mixing bowl
- mixing spoon
- Measure and mix together the baking soda, citric acid and corn starch.
- Add the essential oil to the melted coconut oil.
- Carefully and slowly pour your melted coconut oil into your dry ingredients and mix at the same time.
- Fill the bath bomb molds heaping with the bath bomb mixture, press both side together, twist and remove. Smooth out the sides with your fingertips.
- Let the bath bombs dry overnight and add to your bath for a fizzy fun time.
You can also make these unique to your liking, like adding different essential oils for fun scents and a mix of colors for a rainbow bath.
I love to wrap these up in a cellophane bag and give them to my friends, son's teacher or my neighbor for helping me out. Almost everyone enjoys handmade gifts they can use to pamper themselves.
Store bath bombs in an airtight container when not using.
