Ingredients and Tools
Gather the following supplies to create your essential oil-infused bath bombs:
- Baking soda (2 cups)
- Citric acid (1 cup)
- Cornstarch (1 cup)
- Epsom salt (1/2 cup)
- Carrier oil (2 tablespoons) — such as coconut, almond, or jojoba oil
- Essential oils (20-30 drops of your desired blend)
- Water (1/3 cup)
- Soap colorant (optional)
- Bath bomb molds in various shapes and sizes
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In the large mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Mix well with the whisk until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Slowly add carrier oil and essential oils to the dry mixture, stirring continuously to avoid fizzing. Mix thoroughly.
- Add soap colorant if desired and mix well.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring constantly until it reaches a damp, moldable consistency. Adjust the amount of water if needed, being cautious not to over-wet the mixture, which may cause premature fizzing.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bath bomb molds, ensuring no air pockets are present. Close the mold and leave the bath bombs to dry for 24-48 hours.
- Carefully remove the bath bombs from their molds and allow them to air dry for an additional 24 hours to ensure they are completely dry and hardened.
- Store your bath bombs in an airtight container or package them individually in plastic wrap or gift bags for gifting.
